Not in all cases. qemu-trivial is a catch-all for simple patches so we don't forget them. It was a solution to the problem that patches were often forgotten if they touch a QEMU subsystem that isn't actively maintained. In the case where you know there is an active maintainer - like pci, block, ppc, tracing, etc - then it's fine to send it via the maintainer instead of qemu-trivial. qemu-trivial is a safety net so that we don't drop simple patches just because no one feels responsible for them. Jun Koi: It's worth CCing the maintainer (see ./MAINTAINERS) so they don't miss your patch. Stefan
