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!
?
OK, I may edit it just a little bit to appear a touch softer. A concern
I have is that users may not really know the difference between a
'small' and a 'big' feature, necessarily.
Still, setting an expectation might help...
