That they didn't immediately post the fix upstream is a bit of a

Sorry to break this but even submitting simple patches and getting them into
the qemu source tree hasn't been an easy nor enjoyable experience to me to
understate it
Have you actually tried since 2021 when your last commit was?
https://patchew.org/search?q=project%3AQEMU+from%3Areinoud says you
didn't but I may be missing something.
In fact your only contribution was a really big one, and I say this not
to understate you work but because *almost anything* would be easier
than submitting a new accelerator.
so once in a while, a new version is pulled into pkgsrc and
patches are made on top and if they start to grow or diverge too much a patch
round can be made requested on the qemu repo. This is just my experience of
course.
We're not asking you to keep CI up-to-date (which Thomas is doing now,
despite having no specific need that I know of to support NetBSD), just
to *report* failure to build from source and tell us "hey, that's how we
fixed it". Otherwise we have the false impression that no one even
cares about new QEMU on NetBSD.
Thanks,
Paolo
