Should we also mention that "bugs" include any situation where "the code
works but the documentation is unclear", as well as cases of "a cool
feature that is not implemented yet"?

Quite true. In particular, in my own workflow, I find it easier to 'git
am' a patch sent to the list than to open a web browser and download an
attached patch.

Should we also mention the fedora-virt-preview, as a way of seeing if
the bug has been fixed by using a newer build of libvirt without having
to upgrade to newer fedora, and without having to self-build?
What you have is a strict improvement, so even if I had ideas for future
patches, I'm perfectly okay giving this one:
ACK and pushed.
