OK, thank you for your explanation. Excuse me, my English is not quite
well, originally, I really misunderstood what Michael Tokarev said.

Originally, I assumed Michael Tokarev is that role (be the people who
would care enough to do that monitoring work), but sorry, at present,
I know, I misunderstand him (he is not this role).

It is really hard to find a member to act as this role (I guess, for act
as this role, he/she will be a real global maintainer of qemu).
