I think that is not mandatory under LGPL license. Of course, it would be a nice to do because all the community can benefit from your work.
But from a formal point of view, I don’t think you are enforced to do so.
The only thing your are enforced to do is to release the fix under LGPL license too. That means you cannot sell under commercial terms your fixed-Qt version, instead you have to give for free to anyone would ask to you.
