A Qt Core maintainer who isn't a Qt employee?

IIRC, David Faure is the original author of the QSP class, but maybe not of the \
actual Mac implementation. David was constructive enough in the past in his feedback \
on my patch, though we did have some disagreements and we never got around to sitting \
down to get it sorted out once and for all.

Note that I wouldn't really mind upstreaming only a minimal change to QSP, as long as \
that doesn't make achieving my patch more complicated (or worse, requires a serious \
overhaul of all my current KF5 ports). I really am quite happy with how my current \
patch works; it allows all KF5 software that doesn't do Mac-incompatible things to \
work (almost) "out of the box". It also allows me to focus on function over form so \
to speak ("form" being the way how/where things are installed/bundled).

R.
