I hope you have been able to progress with the task of getting Qt 4.8 into
Gerrit.

Looking into https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTQAINFRA-393 it seems
that there is still quite much to do.

What is the current estimate when we have 4.8 in Gerrit?

For us it is important to know when we can re-submit our existing 4.8
merge requests through it.

In the case it takes many weeks still, maybe it is possible to handle the
pending merge requests with the old system?

Yours,
