+This is the upstream QEMU issue tracker.
+
+Please note that QEMU, like most open source projects, relies on
+contributors who have motivation, skills and available time to work on
+implementing particular features.
+
+Feature requests can be helpful for determining demand and interest, but
+they are not a guarantee that a contributor will volunteer to implement
+it. We welcome and encourage even draft patches to implement a feature
+be sent to the mailing list where it can be discussed and developed
+further by the community.
+
+Thank you for your interest in helping us to make QEMU better!
