+<!-- Describe the final result you want to achieve. Avoid design specifics. -->
Since some people apparently had wrong expectations when filing a feature
request in the past, it might be good to add some words about what to
expect. Maybe something like this (re-using some wording that Daniel already
added to some tickets in the past IIRC):
Please note that the QEMU, like most open source projects, relies on
contributors who have motivation, skills and available time to work on
implementing particular features. Contributors naturally tend to focus on
features that result in the greatest benefit to their own use cases. Thus
the QEMU project doesn't implement new big features (like target
architectures or board models) on demand based on feature requests here;
they're a lot of work to do. Instead we simply code-review and incorporate
new big features as and when people decide to write them and submit the
patches. So please only submit small requests here. Thanks!
