Thanks a lot, Thiago, you're a diamond.

The 2 most advertised ones are the product definition
(http://developer.qt.nokia.com/groups/qt_contributors_summit/wiki/Qt5ProductDefinition),
and Qt 5.0 wiki (http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Qt_5.0), they are
certainly informative in general way, but lack some essential details
(it's not a reproach, I know it's still a work in progress, no problem
there).

I'm afraid this may trigger some big discussion on the subject (which
is probably good), as it turns out to be about contribution in
general. Ben (responsible for QtDeamonService) seems to be in similar
position to mine here, and more people might be in the future, so I
guess it should be discussed/clarified in detail.

Ben put his work into Qt5 repository itself. If every person,
including me, is expected to do that, it should be put in clear text
somewhere. But, most of the Qt stuff is included in the repo as a git
submodule. Now, if that is the desired way of contributing an add-on,
then how exactly is anything going to be accepted into Qt? A
contributor would have to create his own repository, then add it as a
submodule to qt5 clone and request merge of just the git submodule?
This will lead to a more "distributed" qt source, as some submodules
would not actually reside in qt.gitorious.org/qt.

Thinking about it now, I realized it might be a bit too early to ask,
as qt-project is still not open. But even a good 'official' hint as to
what to expect would be nice, or - if it's not been decided yet
internally - a discussion. Which leaves me in a situation, where I
still do not know what to do :) I don't want to flood you with more
"problematic" merge requests, but make just one, that would be well
placed and with good code quality.

Ok, that's what I've suspected, thanks.

Good day to you,
