Hi Aleksandar,

I know you have sent a v3 of this patch in the meantime, but I would
still like to comment on it.

First of all I confirm, that I do not have time to contribute to QEMU
anymore and that I said I would like to resign from QEMU maintainership.
We discussed that in person in Lyon back in October. I am happy to see
that people are interested to take the maintainership.

It happens that I known Huacai Chen from the time he was upstreaming the
Loongson 3 support to the kernel, I have been testing and reviewing his
patches. I also know Jiaxun Yang from the #debian-mips IRC channel. I
know that they are both very competent and have a good knowledge of the
open source world. I therefore agree that they are good additions to
maintain and/or review the MIPS part of QEMU.

All that said, they have been contributing only relatively recently to
QEMU, and only to some areas. While I do support adding them to those
areas, I wonder for example why adding them to the MIPS TCG target or
to the Jazz board. That's probably something that should be done in a
second step if they have an interest in doing so.

I am fully aware that you posted a v3, that fixes exactly that after you
got pointed out. However, I am still concerned by the way things
happened.

Regards,
Aurelien
