[Development] Qt3D Maintainer

[Sean Harmer]

Hi everybody,

I hope everyone who attended the Qt Developer Days has recovered now. 
One topic that came up a few times in discussions there was the 
maintainership of the Qt3D module. This module has seen very few commits 
recently and as already noted on the list will not form part of the 
official Qt5 release.

To breathe some life back into this module myself and, James Turner 
<james at kdab.com>, are hereby offering to take over the development and 
maintainership of Qt3D.

I have only made a few commits to this module in the past as I have been 
concentrating on other parts of the OpenGL stack elsewhere to be ready 
for Qt5. However, as those of you who attended the OpenGL training 
and/or talks will know, OpenGL with Qt is something that I care deeply 
about and would like to see as part of a future Qt5.x release. I have 
some ideas on some neat things we could add to Qt3D in the future but it 
will take a little while to review the current status of the code and 
get to grips with it.

I would like to ask for some feedback from the list as to whether this 
would be an acceptable way forwards for this module.

Kind regards,

Sean
