Up to now, there was no special section for the different
host operating systems used with QEMU.
scripts/get_maintainer.pl did not show a maintainer for
OS specific files and patches.
Therefore I added three hosts systems:
* POSIX for the majority of host systems which are supported.
This includes BSD and Linux host systems.
* LINUX is a special case of POSIX needed for some Linux specific
files and directories.
* W32, W64 for a well known family of closed source operating systems.
I also added myself as a maintainer for W32, W64.

How can these be "Maintained" without a maintainer?

They're maintained in the sense that if you break it somebody
*will* fix it, probably with a faster turnaround than any
other host system. Certainly 'Odd Fixes' doesn't sound right.

I agree, adding a maintainer name (Anthony?) would be better.

I added LINUX and POSIX just to have a hook were a maintainer
and files / directories can be added (and to fill the host list with
more than an entry for w32 :-)). Of course BSD and other hosts
can also be added if needed.
There are some more entries for qemu-devel which use
M: qemu-devel@nongnu.org. I think L: qemu-devel@nongnu.org
would be more appropriate there, too.
Regards,
Stefan

Applied. Thanks.
