When you say “we”, do you mean the Digia or the Intel Qt developers, or the 
community?

If someone, including the requesting party themselves, does such work, I’m sure 
there are reviewers / approvers ready to do the reviewing.

Part of the good thing of the contribution model is that effort follows the 
priority of the contributor. I don’t think it’s fair to use the term “we don’t 
think it’s important” anymore.
