QEMU maintainers can correct me, but I'd think it has to go through a

If the code has to soak in a deprecated state, I think an “Obsolete” status
better fits it as it’s replaced by vfio-user.
Are you saying you and/or Elena are still maintaining the vfio-user
implementation in hw/remote ? As I don't think there's anything happening there
either.
The vfio-user implementation is the server part of the vfio-user client
and it utilizes
the x-remote machine object. I do maintain it - I proposed a fix to bug
last week and
reviewed an alternative proposal from Marc-Andre. But if no one is using
it, I'm OK
with removing this support from QEMU.
There's no active development on it due to a lack of inbound feature
requests. Are
you looking for any specific features?
If you want to bring the maintenance of this under your purview, I'm OK
with that also.
Thanks,
Jag
