Qemu had very few developers before KVM made use of it - i know it because i followed the project prior KVM. So whatever development activitity Qemu has today, it's 99% [WAG] attributable to KVM. It might have non-Linux contributors, but they wouldnt be there if it wasnt for all the Linux contributors ... Furthermore, those contributors wouldnt have to leave - they could simply use a different Git URI ...
