Good or bad, this has always been the workflow. > 2.

Can 'applied thanks' mail be sent to patch authors? In the good old times, CVS commit messages went also to qemu-devel list. That may no longer be technically possible or even desirable because of the volume. I think qemu-commits sends the message to the qemu-commits list and the author, so the 'applied, thanks' shouldn't be needed if the list worked reliably.
