Hey John, I sent this email a couple of weeks ago to the qemu mailing list since I didn't really know who to approach.
I am interested in contributing to the python-qemu package. I have quite a bit of experience in Python, but no experience in packaging libraries. Whatever you mentioned in the reply to my comment on the bug, was pretty interesting. I would like to get started with at least ensuring that all python code is flake8/pylint compliant. Do let me know what you think of this. Thanks, Rohit.
