No review yet but I wanted to agree on the next steps once the spec has
been reviewed.

One or more of you would be added to ./MAINTAINERS and handle future
patch review and pull requests for the spec.

The spec will be unstable/experimental at least until QEMU vfio-user
implementation has landed. Otherwise it's hard to know whether the
protocol really works.

Does this sound good?
