I don't think this is the case. Every contributor can upload patches with new third party code, as long as this is properly documented.

Only maintainers are allowed to approve them though, and if you want to add new third party code to the Qt libraries, tools or plugins you need an approval by Lars.

Not formally approved yet, but QUIP-4 explicitly states the rules:
