From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Some people are not content with the amount of mail they get, and would
like to be CCed on patches for areas they do not maintain.  Let them
satisfy their own appetite for qemu-devel messages.

Seriously: the purpose here is a bit different from the Linux kernel.
While Linux uses "R" to designate non-maintainers for reviewing patches
in a given area, in QEMU I would also like to use "R" so that people can
delegate sending pull requests while keeping some degree of oversight.

Based on Linux commit eafbaac3093760d1fd3b2a5b9f016362dd68af36.
