And specifically to your questions, bug fixes first go to the current stable brach of Qt (5.11.3 in this case), and once the patches are in, they can be backported to the LTS versions ( 5.11.3 -> 5.9 -> 5.6).

Thanks, here is my attempt to contribute:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/240793/
I could use some help on how to continue, I understand I need
reviewers, which I think might be a topic for the development mailing
list. However since lists.qt-project.org seems to be down, I cannot
subscribe there at the moment.

Thanks for the patch! If you don’t know whom to add as reviewer for a change, you can always have a look at https://wiki.qt.io/Maintainers and add the maintainer for the area your patch is about.

Another trick is to do a git log or git blame on the file(s) you touched and try to figure out that way whom you could add as a reviewer.

Cheers,
Lars
