I would be interested too.
My current topic of interest is somewhat distant (roughly: "remote"
machine assembly) but I would like to better understand the QAPI roadmap.
The area that greensocs is working on is of direct interest to me as well: I want 100% QEMU configuration via QMP.
(And then either I drop the command line, or re-architect the CLI such that it is 100% a mapping onto equivalent QMP, or ... something. It's been a somewhat hot topic at times, but 100% QMP configuration seems like where the meat of the work is, anyway. Everything after that is kinda just 'details'.)
