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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx would be a better choice
than qemu-devel ...
