The biggest reason people would be using old versions of QEMU is if they are running a distro's build. Such people should really file bugs in their vendor's bug tracker, rather than against upstream directly. IOW, it would be worth having a bit of text on the bug reporting page to suggest people should preferrentially use their vendor's bug tracker, if they are using a 3rd party build of QEMU.
