Sorta. The code in this specific package is > 95% written by me, so I felt
the authorship credit here was roughly appropriate. So, I put myself as the
"Author" but "QEMU Project" as the "maintainer". I put a lot of work into
this, so it felt weird to say that it was authored by a mailing list.

I also wanted to avoid not listing my own name at all, since this has
largely been my initiative to polish it up, write docs, and split it out --
it feels rude to just dump responsibility straight back on the list and
pretend I'm not the point of contact for it.
