The expected patch flow for QEMU is:

submaintainer

This makes sense. It's almost exactly the Linux flow, which I'm used to and
I have down to a fairly mechanical process. I think the real issue here is
that we don't have anyone who has officially committed to doing this, so I'm
just going to pull the trigger and say I'm doing so.
Thanks for picking this up.
My Linux PR flow is to tag a PR on Mondays, send it out to the list for
comments, and then if it passes muster to submit an official PR on
Wednesdays. It's been working smoothly (we've yet to have to kill a PR), so
I think I'll do the same thing for QEMU except I'll do Tuesday/Thursday.
For QEMU we do patches first, pull requests for reviewed stuff.
If you send a pull request out to the list the assumption is
that it's a request to apply it to master immediately.
