Done sometime back https://www.whonix.org/forum/index.php/topic,159.msg2659.html#msg2659
Its in the works.
Libguestfs is about inspecting files and controlling daemons inside a guest image - not relevant. But one thing that should be mentioned for security is to never load a guest disk image directly on the host without the hypervisor. Libguestfs is the only safe method advocated for if its a must but that has its pitfalls and should not be used if not necessary.
KVM dev post for reference:

This means this entire section for the shared folders should be thrown out IMO: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/File_Transfer#Mount_and_inspect_images
I forgot to mention in that post that at the time I did correspond with the devs behind Gnome Boxes and libvirt to ask about the design of the import library for our needs. I was told that Its in its early stages.
Its encouraging to know that this is in progress.
There are two parts here.
Are both being worked on?

Good catch. Deleting is not required. Documenting and referencing the risk should be sufficient.
Please update the tickets on https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/KVM. I would like to have this page for contributors to show what else can be done. Duplicating effort by me or someone else would be a pity.
There are two parts here.
- command line support in libvirt
- gui support in virt-manager
Details at the moment are scant its still in early stages, but as a standalone library its intended to be used behind multiple gui management interfaces besides Gnome Boxes so #2 is in the cards.
As for commanline support I didn’t ask TBH.
