Once the discussion has completed I can send the patches in a pull
request.

I don't want to be the bottleneck for all multi-process QEMU patches in
the future though. That's why I think the authors should be able to send
pull requests on their own after the initial code is merged. Much of
this work is isolated an only affects multi-process QEMU and the feature
is marked experimental. There is little risk of introducing instability
for non-multi-process QEMU users/developers. Hence why this is a new
subsystem and has MAINTAINERS files entries.

Does that sound good?
