[Development] Qt 5.2 Testing (System tray)

[Hausmann Simon]

I agree very much with what Thiago said. Also note that the project can't _take_ patches, the legal framework requires the author to contribute them explicitly (and accepting the cla on the way).

Thankfully there are canonical folks around in the Qt project submitting good stuff in other places.

If the patches are technically correct and don't break the rest of the
platforms, I don't see why we shouldn't accept them upstream.

If the patch is large, then the patch must come with a promise of maintenance
as well.

We would require the same of any other port or large modification. In fact, we
do require that of our QNX/BB10 friends and it's being required of the Android
and iOS ports too.
