No review yet but I wanted to agree on the next steps once the spec has been reviewed. One or more of you would be added to ./MAINTAINERS and handle future patch review and pull requests for the spec. The spec will be unstable/experimental at least until QEMU vfio-user implementation has landed. Otherwise it's hard to know whether the protocol really works. Does this sound good? Stefan
