[Qemu-devel] Patch submission policy? (was Re: [PATCH] SAMBA multi-share support

[Stealth Dave]

Is there a patch submission policy for QEMU?  I see a lot of patches 
posted to this list.  Some get accepted, some get rejected with 
comments, and others seem to be ignored.  Back in February, I submitted 
a patch which expands the SAMBA capabilities of QEMU to allow multiple 
folders to be shared, and was backwards compatible with the old syntax. 
 I resubmitted the patch via private email to the lead devs (Fabrice 
and Paul, the latter I presume can be considered a lead dev as he 
appears to have CVS commit access), but again got no feedback.

I'm perfectly willing to accept that my patch isn't good enough for 
inclusion, or even that the new functionality is not wanted (although, 
I'd be dissappointed).  But without any feedback whatsoever, I can't 
make improvements and, quite frankly, am feeling a little bit left out 
in the cold.

So, I've decided to be the squeaky wheel.  I've attached an updated 
patch the cleanly applies to current CVS.  Please feel free to attach 
whatever license is necessary for distribution with QEMU.  I welcome 
any feedback, and await an oil can or the junkyard. :)

Regards,
- Dave
