Oh you are Co-author. Sorry, took some time for light bulb to turn on... In that case it needs your SOB to merge. I will have to leave it out of the PR if I don't get that in time, but we should be able to get a doc improvement past the soft freeze. It's essentially a usability bug-fix.

It's essentially a usability bug-fix. This was the original submission that compiled my previous emails and cover letters into some docs so the text was mine and editorship was Bernhard: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20231216123013.67978-1-shentey@gmail.com/ which I then took over and enhanced further so you can take his SoB from that patch I just forgot to retain it as I did not think it would be needed.
