[Development] [Google Summer of Code] [Project Ideas] Qt Quick Controls 2 Sailfish Silica Style

Tue Apr 3 23:11:02 CEST 2018

Jean-Michaël, I've heard about qpm but never used it since I'm perfectly
fine with my distro package manager :)
But I'm ok to publish it there if we decide not to add the project
to qtquickcontrols2 repo, thank you for the hint!
