[Development] Buddy group to help new contributors

[Elias Steurer]

Hi Konrad,

That would be indeed easier. The wiki explicitly states to use 
<https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git>:

 >/A Perl version which does not need a registration and also provides a 
zip file instead an installer is StrawberryPerl 
<https://strawberryperl.com/>. /

but let's go back to the discussion about why we need perl in the first 
place and why wikis are bad 😁

Cheers 👋,

Eli
