Thank you, there's nothing more to add. This is exactly what I meant.

My impression is that most of the commiters only commit their own 
patches (maybe with the exception of Aurelien), but don't want to bother 
with patches from ordinary mailing list subscribers. In comparison to 
other projects, it's quite difficult to get something into qemu and I'd 
not be surprised if this is discouraging people from doing qemu 
development at all.

Apropos revert... ;-) The patch didn't break anything previously 
working, it's just that previously completely broken functionality might 
still be slightly broken. And I've already posted a patch for the 
recursion problem, so I would have preferred committing that one on top 
over reverting the whole thing.
