OK, I'll send an email manually.

BTW, I'd like to update the policy of stable branch maintainance as
follows:

- Each major release has its stable branch.
  e.g. stable branch of 0.6 is stable-0.6

- A maintainer of the stable branches sends patches which will be
  applied to the branches.

- If no one disagrees with applying the patches in a given time, they
  will be applied to the branches. The given time will be 7 days (one
  week would be fine for the period).

- The stable branches will be maintained until corresponding stable
  branches of QEMU become obsolete.

I'd like to hear opinions.

Thanks,
Hitoshi
