I'd be happy to help with this. I'm mostly a consumer of QEMU, but greatly appreciate all the work this community has done, and was able to contribute a little by helping with QEMU advent this past year. I would be happy to help streamline some of this activities if that would be welcome, and would gratefully contribute time and resources. Hosting and serving data like this has been core to my recent experience. I would be happy to suggest and build out a distribution strategy for these packages, and believe I could cut some costs, and even convince a small consultancy I am a part of here that uses QEMU to foot a reasonable bill. A brief introduction, since I haven't had the pleasure of attending FOSDEM or any other QEMU meetups: I am a startup-oriented Cloud Security Architect, based out of Atlanta, previously with companies like DataStax, but now working on AWS video pipelines for a startup here. Thanks, and hopefully I can be of service!
