docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst calls it "event-specific data".  This is
quite a mouthful, so the code usually calls it "arguments".  Not least
because events are kind of like commands going in the other direction
(client to server), and the code dealing with them is often similar.

Both names make more sense to me than "member".  Hmm.  A rename could be
done as a follow-up if that's more convenient for you.
