Alright, we need two volunteers for the reviewer role, and one patch to MAINTAINERS. A mention in MAINTAINERS is the traditional punishment for good work, so let's see who's been doing the work. Aha: Eduardo Habkost Marc-Andr=C3=A9 Lureau Markus Armbruster Eric Blake Philippe Mathieu-Daud=C3=A9 Details appended. QOM is not a particularly active subsystem now: 51 commits in two years. We obviously need maintainers to review and merge patches. The nominal maintainer hasn't been doing that since 2015. Git shows the following top committers taking on / getting sucked into QOM: Markus Armbruster Eduardo Habkost Paolo Bonzini Marc-Andr=C3=A9 Lureau Eric Blake We really need nominal maintainer(s) again. Of course, *active* maintainers would be even better: I consider QOM stuck in an unhappy place where much of its potential is still potential. But let's start small. Volunteers for the reviewer role, please step forward :) The details I promised: Output of "scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git --git-since=3D'2-years-ago' | grep commit_signer" sorted by file size: =3D qom/object.c =3D "Marc-Andr=C3=A9 Lureau" (commit_signer:20/36= =3D56%) Markus Armbruster (commit_signer:15/36=3D42%) Eric Blake (commit_signer:14/36=3D39%) Eduardo Habkost (commit_signer:14/36=3D39%) "Philippe Mathieu-Daud=C3=A9" (commit_signer:9/36=3D25%) =3D include/qom/object.h =3D Eduardo Habkost (commit_signer:9/18=3D50%) "Marc-Andr=C3=A9 Lureau" (commit_signer:8/18= =3D44%) Igor Mammedov (commit_signer:6/18=3D33%) Markus Armbruster (commit_signer:6/18=3D33%) David Gibson (commit_signer:5/18=3D28%) =3D include/qom/object_interfaces.h =3D Eduardo Habkost (commit_signer:8/5=3D100%) Igor Mammedov (commit_signer:3/5=3D60%) "Marc-Andr=C3=A9 Lureau" (commit_signer:2/5= =3D40%) "Philippe Mathieu-Daud=C3=A9" (commit_signer:2/5=3D40%) Eric Blake (commit_signer:1/5=3D20%) =3D qom/object_interfaces.c =3D Eric Blake (commit_signer:9/12=3D75%) "Marc-Andr=C3=A9 Lureau" (commit_signer:7/12= =3D58%) Markus Armbruster (commit_signer:7/12=3D58%) Eduardo Habkost (commit_signer:6/12=3D50%) "Philippe Mathieu-Daud=C3=A9" (commit_signer:4/12=3D33%) =3D qom/qom-qobject.c =3D =3D include/qom/qom-qobject.h =3D =3D qom/trace-events =3D Stefan Hajnoczi (commit_signer:2/2=3D100%) "Philippe Mathieu-Daud=C3=A9" (commit_signer:2/2=3D100%) Markus Armbruster (commit_signer:1/2=3D50%) Michael Tokarev (commit_signer:1/2=3D50%) =3D qom/Makefile.objs =3D
