Hi any news here? We continue to see the migration area of QEMU as basically blocked; there are a number of reviewed series out and little progress in merging them, as well as a number of improvements not posted to the list at all due to the situation being completely bottlenecked. Would a co-maintenance of migration/ from Fabiano be an option? Should we organize a call to discuss this if the mailing list does not suffice to discuss this topic? Thank you, Claudio
