Qt 5.15.18 is now available in ~arch ::gentoo, this is ultimately the last 
time I am bumping Qt5 - next release would be more than 6 months away anyway. 
Once this is stabilised, I will stop looking at Qt5 module bug fixes at all.
dev-qt/qtquickcontrols2 is already broken by GCC-16[1] and no one from current 
Qt5 caretakers is going to fix it. Upkeep is getting more expensive.

The above mentioned QQC2 bug in particular affects various integration 
packages - our options will be to limit GCC upper bounds (bad UX) or drop 
integration hence making Qt5 applications look out of place (worse UI).

Maintainers, please:
- identify your packages in the main trackers[2][3]
- ring the bell @upstreams if you haven't yet
- make snapshots if they are slow to release
- drop Qt5 deps if optional
- remember to stabilise your packages or re-keyword if necessary
- cleanup overshadowed Qt5-revdeps
