You're saying that just like that, but if you just set up your own tree,
at least if you are not a git guru you end up with the same mess as I
have now:
The official qemu git tree, Stefan Weil's git tree and the kvm tree, all
have slightly different eepro100 code and for each one I have to do
merges since I have no idea which path has a chance to get patches
accepted (since after all I got no response anywhere).
For me that is simply too much effort (I am after all a FFmpeg/MPlayer developer
in the first place) and I'll probably just drop all the non-trivial
changes I made because they have a too high merging effort.
