Yeah, I gave a heads up to 'dannf' on #debian-qemu on OFTC as well :-) No, I haven't filed for other BIOSes. (But, reading the QEMU firmware spec[1], it the other BIOSes are possible, too.)
My immediate motivation to file these for EDK2/OVMF is to facilitate the Secure Boot feature KVM/QEMU guests for OpenStack Nova[2], which is slated for the upcoming "Train" release. The JSON files are used by the libvirt API (which is used by Nova) to allow auto-selecting the correct firmware binary.
