[Development] code.qt.io is undergoing a DDoS attack

[Dimitrios Apostolou]

As an update to the situation, the attack is mostly under control and 
restrictions have mostly been lifted. Access to most repositories in 
code.qt.io should be unproblematic, with the exception of the biggest 
repositories.

Dimitrios Apostolou
