[Development] Nominating Vladimir Belyavsky as Qt Project approver

[Fabian Kosmale]

+1 from me, too. I reviewed some of his patches, and also interacted
with him in the review process. Based on that, I'm confident that he'll
use the approver rights conscientiously.

He has been using Qt for ~20 years, and his employer for the last 11 years has been Rakuten Viber, which has its HQ in Luxemburg, where he is using Qt professionally as a Team Lead. Vladimir has been very responsive to me when I asked some relevant questions over email. If you want to raise objection and don’t want to do so on a public channel, feel free to do so to me directly.
