Hi Will,

It is strongly recommended that you Cc maintainers to increase the odds
they notice your patches in the flood of qemu-devel. FYI I only noticed
them because git-send-email Cc'd me thanks to the Reviewed-by: tags and
my address didn't change in the meantime. I'm thus Cc'ing Christian
who is the primary maintainer now (i.e. the person that can merge
your patches and send a PR for upstream inclusion).

FWIW git-publish [1] can Cc the relevant people for free.

This makes sense. For consistency with that assumption, it would also
make sense to clear all preexisting Reviewed-by: tags.

QEMU cares about tracking of who did what and follows a policy inspired
from the linux kernel [2] [3].

Michael's Signed-off-by: should then appear on all patches, with a
mention of the extra changes that he made, e.g.

Signed-off-by: Keno Fischer <keno@juliacomputing.com>
[Michael Roitzsch: - rebased for NixOS
                   - some other change]
Signed-off-by: Michael Roitzsch <reactorcontrol@icloud.com>

If no changes were made, you still need to add a Signed-off-by: tag.

Good ! If you have an account on gitlab, you can also push a branch there.
It will be submitted to gitlab CI and maybe give you the opportunity to
polish the patches some more before submission.

As explained above, your Signed-off-by: is also needed in all patches,
even if you didn't change them.

Cheers,
