[Development] Gdb pretty printers for Qt 5

Hi all,

years ago I started working on gdb pretty printers for Qt 4 that allow
printing eg. QString or QList values. Similar to what QtCreator does
but with one big difference: it also works with plain gdb.
Pretty printers are implemented in python and can be shipped with the
library they are built for. Ubuntu does that for libstdc++ [1]

The merge request [2] I created back then got rejected - it now gets
shiped with KDevelop and people also use it for cli - which requires
not so strait forward manual set up.

I'd like to try again to get this into Qt 5 - where it imho belongs.
Would such a patch get accepted?

Cheers,
Niko
