[Development] Qt 3D Maintainership

[Tuukka Turunen]

Hi Sean,

Yes, Qt 3D certainly growing both in size and importance. Happily also the number of people working on it has been growing nicely.

In addition to you and Paul, I believe we should be able to find 1-2 additional from developers of The Qt Company working on Qt 3D.

Would it be possible to have someone from KDAB to maintain Qt 3D Extras? That is an area we have not touched that much. 

Yours,

	Tuukka

    Hi All,
    
    my time available for Qt 3D outside of work, has as of late, been 
    reduced due to increased family commitments - the good kind, but time 
    consuming nonetheless.
    
    Given how Qt 3D has grown from our simple experiments in making 3D 
    possible with Qt to the highly-configurable, multi-module, data 
    processing monster it is today I feel it is no longer possible, nor 
    wise, for me to maintain alone. Additionally, it looks as if Qt 3D will 
    form an important piece of the graphics stack for Qt 6.
    
    As such I would like to propose that we split the maintainership and I 
    would propose that Laszlo Agocs becomes co-maintainer. I am still happy 
    to co-maintain and I have plenty of ideas about improvements we can make 
    both within the Qt5 and Qt 6 time frames. We have learned a lot whilst 
    developing Qt 3D and I think we can make it even better for Qt 6.
    
    I would also suggest that we find maintainers or co-maintainers for the 
    sub-modules. I would propose Paul Lemire as (co-)maintainer for the 
    render module. I'm happy to keep driving the animation module and help 
    with qt3dcore. Other nominations are of course welcome.
    
    Kind regards and have a great weekend,
    
    Sean
