Why don't you simply take this event as a first trigger to organize an QEMU conference for Developers and users.
We can help you by forwarding the email addresses of some of the people. I can also help you if you want.
This can be the start of a real great effort with huge benefit to the community.
As stated above, things are more difficult than that, but I agree. We do have annual KVM Forum meetings where we gather all the virtualization people from Qemu as well and talk about things there. The slides and recordings are publicly available, if you're interested:
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM_Forum_2010. In general, people surrounding KVM meet quite a bit.
For the emulation side, things look different. I'm not aware of any traction on the emulation side of Qemu. Getting people together for that one is certainly lacking. I'm not sure I'm the right person to talk to there. If nobody else steps up, I could barely play the role of someone who knows what he's talking about, but I'm myself more of a virtualization person too.
