It took me a while but I have a code base now for QtCreator that keeps all previous functionality. For that I separated the MIME type handling code in QtCreator in the stuff that is also in qmime and the application-specific code that needs to run on top of that. The continued development in the qmime repository made this task quite challenging. Until the code in qmime becomes a part of Qt 5 I'd likd to keep the code synchronzied between the qmime and the QtCreator repository. Who should I contact about adding my changes into QtCreator? My favorite scenario would be to add a branch where I add changes step by step. Is there a review person I should contact? How do you integrate contributors into the QtCreator team?
