Thanks, applied to the trivial patches tree:

Thank you!

By the way (sorry if this was discussed before and is a strong decision) 
I'd say e-mail based workflow is of course very flexible - and very very 
novice-unfriendly. Dash, I had to learn git commands I'd never use in my 
usual workflow with local or Github repos. And, well, I was not very 
good with that. 10 ways with 10 options in each. You all saw my previous 
patch mail with "fubar" header and no signed-off-by string.

Is there a reason you (team) don't use e.g. Github at least for trivial 
patches?

Regards,
Vadim

Yes, the email-based approach is the most flexible but also has a
learning curve.  For one-time contributors it can seem like wasted
effort.

The QEMU community is familiar with the email-based workflow and has
customized it.  One key idea is that all patches go through
qemu-devel@nongnu.org - even trivial patches are exposed to code review
from the whole community.  A new vector for code submission still needs
to keep this property.

For another open source project that I'm involved in I have set up a
cronjob that sends GitHub pull requests to the project mailing list.
This way the mailing list still sees all patches before they get
committed.  Replying to patches doesn't work though - you still need to
log into GitHub in order to send comments to the author.  I can't ask
all QEMU developers to do that.

Any ideas how to make GitHub work with QEMU?
