Well, that isn't my intention.  I want the kernel patches for qemu
graphics being more visible for developers working on the host (device
emulation) side.  A separate list just for those patches is quite the
contrary ...

Maybe virtualization@...ts.linux-foundation.org would be a better choice
than qemu-devel ...
