I've spoken about this to Tuukka in a couple of occasions. It's my 
understanding that getting the Digia engineers become approvers and eventually 
maintainers for the parts they work mostly on is their intention too.

However, right now, those engineers are mostly working on Qt 4.8, which is not 
part of Gerrit, so any work they might have been doing is lost to us.
