While the target is 18.04 SRU Policy implies this has to be available in all later releases to avoid upgrade regressions.
OTOH we planned libvirt 5.0 and qemu 3.1 which both are released in late December/early January for 19.04 instead of starting now (partially on your request for those versions if you remember).

That would mean I could only SRU (for real) this ~"late January".
Until then I could of course work on it in advance and provide a testing PPA for your verification.
Since the Kernel is currently only available in a PPA as well - and the next Kernel SRU cycle (which is a prerequisite to it anyway) will finalize late December - there is not much to gain by pulling qemu/libvirt forward IMHO.

If that is not early enough I'd have to work on pushing it to 19.04 almost right now which will imply other things have to drop from this cycles plan. That is very unfortunate and needs some acks which I'll start to ask for - but really please consider if late January would just be enough to avoid this major hickup. So would late January be ok for you?

TL;DR:
- this is very costly to do asap
- what is the latest date this can land in 18.04?
