Note the problem with QEMU MIPS is not there is few maintainers,
is really there are no reviewers... See, there are about 25 patches
unreviewed on the list since various weeks. I don't have problem
merging/testing them once reviewed and doing maintenance, but I
can not review them all (in particular the one I send...).

Maintaining is not about merging your own area patches, it is
also about trying to understand what the other are doing,
eventually having to verify the specs, understand the use case,
and so on. Like I intend to do with your Loongson-3 series.

Note that I do that in my free time, and I certainly do not want
to be the single maintainer, I don't have the bandwidth.
