It's mostly that it's a grey area. That aspect has been well explained
by Dustin, so I won't get back into it... Note that I'm not part of
any of these teams, but I think it does tend to be getting into the
MOTU team's task (at least in my understanding of the current state of
things, as well as with the archive reorg.), and as such a demotion to
universe would likely increase the amount of attention virt-manager
could get.

FWIW, +1 from me for option B. :)

I for one am interested in bringing it back to a better state. I've
started to take a look at the global picture for its bugs and code,
and I am planning on getting some triaging work done probably
tomorrow, time permitting.
