I have same thought, also.

I think it is one of the good ideas.  I'm trying the git repository. Thanks.

And I wonder why the merges of SH4 patches to the upstream are slow.
My guess is that the sent patches are not reviewed enough, and main QEMU developers
are too busy to spare time for them.  Reviewing on SH4 related patches by QEMU-SH4
developers might be a help.  Any comments on this idea?
