Indeed. Libvirt's participating on its own since 2016, IIRC. Since we're
still in org acceptance phase we have some time to decide this,
actually. We can do the final decision after participating orgs are
announced. My gut feeling says that it's going to be more work on QEMU
side which would warrant it to be on the QEMU ideas page.

But anyway, we can wait an see. Meanwhile, as Stefan is trying to
compile the list for org application, I'm okay with putting it onto
QEMU's list.
