Holiday + sudden non-QEMU work items.

It's not so easy to just distribute commit access to loads of people. However, we still have a pretty low patch acceptance rate so peer review + testing would certainly help reduce the overall patch traffic. So I'd encourage folks to take some time and review/test patches on the list. For those that already do, it's greatly appreciated. Regards, Anthony Liguori
