My first suggestion is to give the module a better name. "Bus" is an
overloaded term with many meanings and it is IMO too close to our "DBus"
module. Why not go with what your first sentence in the email used:
"We’d like to create a new Qt module for serial buses"
Call it the Qt module for accessing serial buses, QtSerialBus :)
