It appears in the list archives:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-02/msg02471.html
so I think it reached the list. If it's held for you it may be your 
systems.

Yes, I though the qemu git repo would be suitable for that that's why I've 
submitted it. For testing it's just a single patch so git am should not be 
too difficult.

For mac99 you can try with -vga none -device ati-vga and it gives you 
console under Linux but not much more at the moment. MacOS can't find it 
presumably because the info and driver it needs is missing from the device 
tree. I think these should be set up by the card ROM but even if I add a 
Mac card ROM with -device ati-vga,romfile=rom_from_an_ati_card.bin 
OpenBIOS does not seem to be able to run FCode roms so currently could not 
test with MacOS.
