Despite repeated inquiries, Matej is still vetoing d:l:p:pyqt. [1]

* SIP and PyQt[56] are not from the same developers as Qt or KDE
* SIP (python-sip) has nothing to do with KDE:Qt*
* PyQt[56] is the main but not the only consumer of SIP
   - Thus, following Simon's argument [2], python-qt5*, python-PyQt6* 
and python-sip* should be in the same devel project.
* Qt Libraries are packaged into separate projects for each minor version.
* The most recent version of PyQt5 compiles with any Qt5 version. The 
most recent version of PyQt6 compiles with any Qt6 version.
   - Thus, putting python-PyQt6 into a KDE:Qt6.X project would be wrong

With the bullet points above, one could argue to put everything into 
devel:languages:python, but that collides with Matej's veto and Simon's 
argument. If we can't get d:l:p:pyqt, IMHO the next best thing would be 
KDE:Qt:PyQt.
