If you're going accept this as "solved", be aware that you're breaking
links in a *lot* of places, not just on Qt infra like QUIPs and
whatnot, but lots of other public forums, mailing lists, code bases,
commit messages, issue trackers etc.

I really think you need to find a way to make existing links work again.
