As the file mentions, the purpose of this file is to give contributors
information about who they can go to with questions about a particular piece of
code or who they can ask for review.

If you sign up for a piece of code and indicate that it's Maintained or
Supported, please be prepared to be responsive to questions about that
subsystem.

Can't we just copy that one interesting section from Linux into this file?

+Virtio

Hm, what does this mean considering that we have later other entries
like hw/virtio-9p*?

I'd say this means that both are shown as maintainer. See for example the KVM situation in the Linux kernel:

KERNEL VIRTUAL MACHINE (KVM)
M:      Avi Kivity <address@hidden>
M:      Marcelo Tosatti <address@hidden>
L:      address@hidden
S:      Supported
F:      Documentation/*/kvm.txt
F:      arch/*/kvm/

KERNEL VIRTUAL MACHINE (KVM) FOR POWERPC
M:      Alexander Graf <address@hidden>
L:      address@hidden
S:      Supported
F:      arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm*
F:      arch/powerpc/kvm/


Speaking of which ... is this one actually still valid?

KERNEL VIRTUAL MACHINE For Itanium (KVM/IA64)
M:      Xiantao Zhang <address@hidden>
L:      address@hidden
S:      Supported
F:      Documentation/ia64/kvm.txt
F:      arch/ia64/include/asm/kvm*
F:      arch/ia64/kvm/

Avi, any opinion on this?

+SCSI

In practice, virtio-blk, IDE and partly scsi-disk were done by me recently.

Submit a patch to declare you the maintainer please :).

I didn't see the TCG backends in the list, are they missing?

They are there:

Guest CPU cores (TCG):
