It may not be appropriate for me to take over as a maintainer at this time,
but I would consider myself familiar with AMD SEV and what this code is
meant to be doing as part of a VMM for launching SEV-protected guests.

To that end, I would be happy to volunteer as a reviewer for SEV-related
changes so that I am CC'd on them and can help share the review burden with
whoever does maintain this code.

Note: because there's no maintainer entry, when running
./scripts/get_maintainers.pl on target/i386/sev.c, my name and the qemu
mailing list is the only thing that shows up... it doesn't even show
previous committers (as it would before applying this patch). Which is
probably not great considering I do not make pull requests to QEMU.

Is the way forward to get someone to sign up as a maintainer before
applying a patch like this?

I need to resend this patch since I realized I forgot to add
target/i386/sev_i386.h, and target/i386/sev-stub.c, but I still am
wondering about the answer to the question above.
