Can't this be a wiki page?

Thanks, Cole

Like the case above: someone mentioned it on the list, and michal is adjusting apps.html for them #2 is not just an email: it's git clone, make the change, hopefully test it, then send it. #2 for the wiki yes it's painful for drive by contributors because they need to request an account, possibly more painful depending on how comfortable people are with git. #3 for both cases is indistinguishably low effort. Except the git case always requires minimum 2 mails to libvir-list. And every git case requires some reviewer bandwidth, CI triggering and a permanent git commit. Anyways I'm not gonna die on this hill, I've said my piece (again ;) ), if no one else is on board I'll shut up about it
