Maybe v3 is a good opportunity to update QEMU standards...

- Clarify which APIs are outdated
  (Add /* DEPRECATED (use: NiceApi3.0) */ comments around)

- Select some up-to-date and recommended (well-documented)
  boards/device/block examples for newcomers (add in Wiki)

Some more painful ideas:

- Public function/structures added/modified get documentation
  (kernel-doc / Sphinx)

- New feature gets unit-qtesting (make check-unit)

- New device gets acceptance qtesting (make check-qtest)

- New board gets integration qtesting (boot BIOS/FW, Avocado)

I understand each maintainer manage his tree with his own criterion, IMO
these might be the minimum requested for paid contributors.

Phil.
