Name: lxqt-keyring

Implementation detail:
I studied the source code of gnome-keyring and libgcr today.
Actaully, it's only gcr-ui and gcr that requires gtk+.
The gnome developers carefully separated UI and non-UI parts.
The non-UI parts gcr-base and gck are not linked to gtk+.
Gcr-ui is a lib used to develop other keyring associated programs.
Gnome-keyring itself does not rely on it that much.
So, I think porting gnome-keyring to Qt is a faster approach.
Besides, gnome-keyring is well-tested and is a proven solution.
Since its developers separated UI and non-UI parts already, we can use it.
I'm interested in doing this, too.
