Hi, There are currently a few empty spots in our maintainer list, and I’d like to fill them again and make that list more complete before we have 5.4 out.
To start with, I’d like to pick up a topic that had been discussed in the past without reaching a conclusion. It is about having platform maintainers. We currently have a lot of maintainers for different subsystems in Qt, but nobody with a clear formal responsibility of ensuring that Qt runs well on a certain platform/operating system. I think we should change that as Qt does contain sizeable pieces of platform dependent code in Qt. In the QPA plugins and the platform dependent implementations in qtbase. In styles and backends for things such as sensors. We can also clearly see that not everybody can test on all platforms, and we need to have a point of contact when it comes to helping getting things working on a specific platform. To make it explicit, I’d like to propose the following people as Maintainers for different platforms: Windows: Friedemann WinRT: Andrew Knight OS X: Morten Linux (X11): Jørgen Lind Linux (Wayland): Already covered by Andy Nichols iOS: Tor Arne Android: Bogdan Windows CE: Björn Breitmeyer QNX is open for the moment, I’d love to hear proposals. Most of the people above have been acting as a platform maintainer in practice, so this is mostly about formalising the responsibility and giving them proper recognition.
