I'm assuming that the "you" in that question is The Qt Company, not me 
specifically. I don't know why they didn't.

But if you meant me, I'm not qualified to do it myself, but I *did* ask the 
developers to do that. My email from July was that call for action: among 
other things, get involved with the packager community and show that your tool 
works for their usecases without major side-effects.

Looks like The Qt Company analysed how much effort that would be and decided 
that it wasn't worth the investment.
