Thank you. However, I don't need the release for myself. I'd like to
submit an OVMF patch (ACPI table download). That patch causes an OVMF
regression when running on v1.7.0, but works on v1.7.1 (and of course on
2.0.0-rc0). I'd like the tarball to be available to users; both to
people who download it from the upstream location, and to those who use
1.7.x-based distro (eg. Debian) packages.

In my OVMF patch I'd like to reference the v1.7.1 qemu release.

(Side note, the patch is also fine on v1.6.x and earlier.)

"Can" as in "is willing", or as in "is permitted"?

I didn't know whom to address specifically.

Thank you,
