Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster --- This came out of a discussion about what being a 'reviewer' listed in this file actually means.

This patch is supposed to be a starting point for further discussion. --- MAINTAINERS | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 40672c4eba..7d9dbc6724 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -12,9 +12,14 @@ consult qemu-devel and not any specific individual priva= tely.
