Since we've become a code owner we're trying to clear the backlog (virto-vsock and virtio-block) but there are plenty of others that could be done. Of particular interest to me are: - virtio-rpmb (we have a working C implementation I wrote) - virtio-snd (in flight virtio spec) - virtio-video (again we have a working C version against v3) =20=20 With my other hat on there are numerous TCG plugin projects that could be done. Adding basic plugins is fairly straight forward but it would be interesting to look at what is required to do a more involved plugin like panda-re's taint analysis (following ptrs as they move through the system). This will likely need some additional features exposed from the plugin interface to achieve. With that in mind there is also the idea of a central registry for register values which is a prerequisite for expanding access to TCG plugins but could also bring various quality of life improvements to other areas. I've written that up on a page: https://wiki.qemu.org/Internships/ProjectIdeas/CentralRegisterRegistry --=20 Alex Benn=C3=A9e
