Sound like a good idea to put the appendix in its own texi file. Then
add an "R: libvir-list" entry for that file to MAINTAINERS and we should
be fine (at least for the people who use the get_maintainers.pl script).
+1, like that idea
Are there other consumers of QEMU's interfaces which should be cc:ed in
a similar way?
