I would like to nominate Vlad Zahorodnii for approver rights in the Qt project.

Vlad has also been working on the QtWayland backend, providing insight
based on his other role as one of the kwin maintainers.
Vlad and I have been working together at Blue Systems for 5 years. He
is extremely technically competent and very thorough in reviews. I
trust that he would exercise approver rights responsibly.

I would like to nominate David Redondo for approver rights in the Qt project.

David's first contributions to Qt started in November 2020, but has
ramped up this last year working on the Qt Wayland platform. Not only
has he fixed a lot of issues within Qt Wayland, but he has also
managed to push changes into upstream wayland and un-break a lot of
important Qt functionality.
David and I work together at Blue Systems for the last 4 years. I have
full confidence in his ability to review code correctly and also to
use any new privileges appropriately.

[Development] Nominating Matthias Rauter for approval status

[Paul Tvete via Development]

Hi,

I would like to nominate Matthias Rauter as an approver for the Qt Project.

Matthias has been working on Qt for more than a year now. In this time, he has 
done great work on Qt Location and Qt SVG, among other. I have had the pleasure 
to work with him on the Curve Rendering project in Qt Quick Shapes where he has 
made impressive contributions. He has been consistently professional in 
development and review, and I am certain that he will exercise his approver 
powers responsibly.

List of changes made by Matthias:

Matthias's review activity: 
https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/commentby:matthias.rauter%2540qt.io

Cheers,

[Development] Nominating Jonas Karlsson as maintainer for Qt Quick 3D Physics (and consequently for approver status)

[Paul Tvete]

Jonas has been working for the Qt Company since April 2020, and we somehow 
forgot to nominate him for approver status before now. He has been working on 
the Qt Quick 3D module, as part of the Oslo graphics team.

His current project has been to turn Andy Nichols's proof-of-concept physics 
module (based on the Bullet engine) into a proper Qt module (based on Nvidia 
PhysX): Qt Quick 3D Physics 
(https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtquick3dphysics/+/410063). This module 
is planned to be released as a tech preview in Qt 6.4. The previous commit 
history can be found on https://git.qt.io/jokarlss/qtquick3dphysics
[https://git.qt.io/assets/gitlab_logo-7ae504fe4f68fdebb3c2034e36621930cd36ea87924c11ff65dbcb8ed50dca58.png]

I therefore nominate Jonas as maintainer for Qt Quick 3D Physics. According to 
my interpretation of QUIP 2, this implies approver status, but to be on the 
safe side, I also explicitly nominate him as approver.

- Paul

(Not currently maintaining any modules, but since I still have maintainer 
status, I think I am able to nominate a maintainer)

[Development] Nominating Inho Lee as an approver

[Paul Tvete]

Hi all,

I would like to nominate Inho Lee as an approver for the Qt Project.

Inho has been working for the Qt Company for over a year now, and he has 
contributed extensively to Qt Quick 3D during this time.

Here is the list of his commits on Gerrit: 
https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/owner:inho.lee%2540qt.io

Disclaimer: I share an office with Inho, or at least did back when offices were 
a thing.

Best regards,

- Paul

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR was deprecated in 2016. The recommended 
replacement is QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING. 

It looks like QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS was briefly broken, but I see there was 
a fix by David Faure that was merged last week:

I apologize deeply, but I cannot resist the temptation to share the diagram of

Consistently good contributions. I guess I just assumed he was already an 
approver :)

This could also be accomplished by moving the change to the correct branch in 
gerrit as part of the review process.

Currently, only the owner can ask the bot to move the change, but since this 
is our bot I assume that we can change that policy.

I suspect that Tuukka did mean an actual code review, and not the header-diff-
sanity-check, but he can speak for himself. 

I'm taking the opportunity to yet again point out that the term "API review" 
has a long history inside and outside of the Qt Project, and we need another 
name for the just-before-release check. This misunderstanding shows that the 
risk of miscommunication is not merely theoretical.

[Development] Nominating Johan Helsing for Approver status

[Paul Tvete]

Hi all,


I'd like to nominate Johan Helsing for Approver status. He joined The Qt 
Company half a year ago, and has been working full time on Qt since. Johan has 
been actively involved in making the QtWaylandCompositor module ready for Qt 
5.8, as well as doing a major part of the bug fixes for Qt Wayland in 5.6 and 
5.7.

Here is his gerrit dashboard:

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/q/owner:%22Johan+Helsing%22,n,z

Johan's list of reviews can be found at:
