[Development] Contributing to the Qt Project behind a hefty firewall and proxy server

No, the firewall and the whole establishment have the option to go out
over the port 443.

My whole point is that, let us leave the decision to the companies, if
it is a workaround for them or fix. It is *them* deciding about
*their* policies and approvals. The Qt Project should get as much
support as possible from outside, especially now. Company policies and
decisions are not the target of the Qt Project after all. It can just
aid them as much as possible.

Some companies will open ports up, some will not. The latter might
give up the contribution to the Qt Project, and will implement their
own internal solution on top of Qt (not in) without contributing back.
That would be a pity...
