While that would certainly be welcome, it has nothing to do with compliance
to LGPL terms
For the latter you should read license text. Note that all obligations that LGPL
puts on you are tied to distribution of your works derived from Qt, e.g. if you use
it in house you have no obligations, and if you ship them only to a few customers,
your obligations are limited to those customers.
Also note that terms are different depending on LGPL version: Qt 5.6 uses LGPL 2 for
most modules, and Qt >= 5.7 uses LGPL 3.
