At the moment we have Contributor: lines on some packages (but not all of them),
but often they don't represent the actual contributors to the package very well.
E.g. when we added them retroactively to the device packages we only added
the initial contributor (which isn't necessarily the person
who made most of the work for a device...)
The Git history is the most representative source for figuring out
who contributed to a package, so there is no reason to duplicate that
into the APKBUILD.
[skip ci]: way too many packages
For testing changes for device categorization, it is useful to have
a device in each of the categories. The PinePhone is close to being
moved to main/, but it doesn't fulfill all requirements yet.
The QEMU "device ports" are very simple since QEMU currently only
emulates a rather limited set of hardware features. All available features
are working correctly (especially after the recent rework of the QEMU
packages). I suppose it is also usable as a "daily driver", at least for
its intended purpose (a virtual machine for testing postmarketOS changes). :)
Given that everyone can run QEMU, everyone could potentially maintain
it. For now I have added myself as maintainer since I did most of the
recent cleanup. Add drebrez as second maintainer.
Overall it seems useful to have qemu-* in main/, especially because
it is now the device that is selected by default in pmbootstrap.
