Thanks a lot for this summary. It is very helpful for those who
could not attend the QEMU Summit.

Part of that infrastructure is the FSF savannah server.
The FSF infrastructure is still used for our mailing lists.

http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/qemu/ needs
someone who updates the summary. There should be
a link to the official website at least, maybe also a
link to the QEMU article on Wikipedia which is more
up to date.

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/qemu.git was not updated
for 5 years. Should it be removed? I'd prefer to
have a QEMU git mirror there with automated update.

Just ask me if you need a volunteer who looks after
these issues.

Not so new contributors are also grateful for good
documentation. I'm still searching for best practice
documentation how pull requests can be done.
