I was about to propose mypy.ini to be included here, but given

Note to self (and to you) when generating the sdist, I get:

   ...
   package init file 'qemu/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)
   package init file 'dist/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)
   ...

Which may not be too harmful, but deserves investigation.
