As you say, now you have two million-line codebases to understand instead of one :-) I think there are things we (the QEMU community) could do to make the learning curve a bit less steep but it is still definitely there...

Yes, I guess part of the problem is figuring out how much of that you (don't) need to know.

I found the reviews were clear and insightful: In my opinion that goes a long way to making it more approachable, though I guess only if you've got so far as having a patch to be reviewed. That said, even if you don't yet have a patch, reading feedback on relevant patches from others can be just as good.
