Don't even bother creating a project. Just submit the patches back
to QEMU. There's been a lot of discussion about this functionality
within QEMU. There's no reason to fork QEMU yet again (Xen has given
up and is now maintaining a patch queue). In this case, there's no
reason why you would even need a patch queue.
We don't plan to fork qemu, too much good stuff is being added there.
However I want to submit the patch for inclusion only after (if?) the
driver is merged into the mainline kernel. The patch is also not very
pretty at the moment.
I would recommend the opposite approach. Something can go in QEMU more
quickly than in the kernel and you'll get people actually testing it.
If it gets in the kernel and there's no major userspace presence you
won't have nearly the same amount of testers...

I'll post it as a patch and probably a binary rpm for the lazy.
