[Interest] Is Nokia officially done with Qt?

I faintly recall seeing some url graphing the domains where the qt git 
commits are coming from,
or listing the top contributors, or so.

Would anyone have that at hand?

http://www.ohloh.net/p/qt/contributors
http://www.ohloh.net/p/qt/map

are kind of neat, but don't show the domains.

I don't expect Qt to die, but if Nokia sponsorship is gone, it will 
surely slow down many things for a while.  Perhaps it will be a blessing 
in disguise, freeing Nokia people to work on Android port.  But getting 
fired is such a hit on morale that it will take a while to get over 
that.   I'm not even employed by Nokia, but I feel like I could use a 
beer or two...
