+QEMU Python Tooling
+===================
+
+This package provides QEMU tooling used by the QEMU project to build,
+configure, and test QEMU. It is not a fully-fledged SDK and it is subject
+to change at any time.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The ``qemu.qmp`` subpackage provides a library for communicating with
+QMP servers. The ``qemu.machine`` subpackage offers rudimentary
+facilities for launching and managing QEMU processes. Refer to each
+package's documentation
+(``>>> help(qemu.qmp)``, ``>>> help(qemu.machine)``)
+for more information.
+
+Contributing
+------------
+
+This package is maintained by John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> as part of
+the QEMU source tree. Contributions are welcome and follow the `QEMU
+patch submission process
+<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_, which involves
+sending patches to the QEMU development mailing list.
+
+John maintains a `GitLab staging branch
+<https://gitlab.com/jsnow/qemu/-/tree/python>`_, and there is an
+official `GitLab mirror <https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu>`_.
+
+Please report bugs on the `QEMU issue tracker
+<https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues>`_ and tag ``@jsnow`` in
