Agreed, but I don't push to them to the master branch, as patches need to pass
a final round of testing before they get committed there. In the past I've used
a seperate staging tree on github, and linked to it in periodic digests
to qemu-stable. I tend to do these in bi-monthly batches as there's a
round of testing before those go in as well. Currently I publish those
here:

https://github.com/mdroth/qemu/commits/stable-1.2-staging

And eventually:

https://github.com/mdroth/qemu/commits/stable-1.3-staging

and so on.

If something more "official", like a published qemu.org staging branch
on qemu.org, seems worthwhile I can look into mirroring there. But
expect the above github branches to be kept up-to-date in the
meantime and afterward until otherwise stated. Keep in mind these are
snapshot branches and may rebase from time to time (if issues pop up in
later testing, for instance).
