This link is for the freedesktop bugs, but there are also a considerable number of bugs on the Red Hat bugtracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&classification=Fedora&component=spice&component=spice-gtk&component=virt-viewer&component=spice-html5&component=spice-parent&component=spice-protocol&component=spice-vdagent&component=spice-xpi&component=xorg-x11-drv-qxl&list_id=2259049&product=Fedora&query_format=advanced That is incomplete - qemu is not in there, but it includes many unrelated bugs. > > > Most Spice developers work for Red Hat, and they have internal bug > trackers as well that track their priorities.
