Cédric,

Thanks for doing the PR for these XIVE changes!  It sounds like if we
want to continue having our XIVE changes upstreamed we will need
someone on our IBM QEMU development team to volunteer as a maintainer.
Does becoming a maintainer still require physically attending a key
signing party at KVM Forum?

Thanks,

Glenn
