[Development] Qt Commercial 4.7.5 is out - how shall we contribute is the best?

[Turunen Tuukka]

Sorry for top posting...


Yes, we are happy to maintain the 4.7 branch, thoug we are not planning more releases to it unless something comes up.


Let's see where the decision settles, after which we do the needed actions, and see who from Digia is the best one for this.


Yours,


Tuukka

+1 I would say. Tuukka, do you agree? If so, can you name one or more maintainers inside Digia?
