In line with Samuel, I'd like to also confirm that I'm willing to take on 
maintainership for accessibility.

I have poked at the whole accessibility code for more than a year now and 
probably by now touched pretty much everything in there at least once, 
especially getting it up and running on Linux.
Together with Jan-Arve and Morten I had the change to go over the APIs have 
been changed for Qt 5. Many things have become simpler with more features at 
the same time.
For application developers almost nothing has changed, but internally we did 
big cleanups and now have a solution that works on Mac/Win/Linux. There is 
still a lot of polishing to do, but we have a solid base now.

Greetings
Frederik
