Nobody is looking at those files, downgrade this subsystem as orphan.

Remove the qemu-devel@nongnu.org entry because the list is always
selected by the 'All patches CC here' section.

I don't think that's accurate.  Simply there's not much going on.  If
patches are sent, get-maintainers's git fallback will do something
(probably sending the patch to Eduardo, Igor or me).

Should we add our names to that section, or is it OK to leave it
as "S: Supported" even if it doesn't have any official
maintainers?

I followed Markus suggestion from
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-11/msg05414.html:

  If we take the definition of S: in MAINTAINERS seriously,
  we need to appoint a maintainer (a person, not a mailing list),
  or downgrade to S: Orphan.

I agree with Markus and Philippe. Having "S: Supported" but no names
available is just confusing. So either put a maintainer name in here, or
downgrade to "Orphan".

I volunteer to maintain it, but I don't want to be the only
maintainer.  Any other volunteer?

I can volunteer since I'd take the patches anyway.  We can also mark it
as Odd Fixes, and also make it a single thing with all of qom/ and
include/qom/.

Actually, I consider qom/cpu.c distinct from QOM core, and I was
planning to move it to hw/cpu, and add hw/cpu/core.c to the same
section.

Anyway, I guess this means you're also volunteering to be listed
as QOM maintainer?

Igor and Daniel, would you co-maintain or review it?

I'm fine being listed as a manitainer for qom/, agree with moving
qom/cpu.c to hw/cpu, as I was going to suggest that myself :-)
