As QtCore maintainer, I resent that. I fix almost every real bug in QtCore 
almost immediately.

I've submitted three dozen commits to QtNetwork for Qt 5.5/5.6 improving a lot 
of things and even adding new features.

I've rewritten the QtDBus internals (commit count around 20 now) and they 
should land in 5.5.

Maybe you don't see those improvements because they aren't UI. Fancy, shiny 
stuff are visible (pun intended) and also very widely noticed in PR 
communications. No one wants to know about the plumbing updates.
