Hi,

All the repos part of the Qt 5.0.1 release were merged yesterday from 
stable->release as announced.

So changes for 5.0.1 need to be pushed to 'refs/for/release' with a 
Task-number tag in the commit message pointing to a P0/P1 task [1].

The process should be that you get the change approved normally and you 
add me as Reviewer (since only the release team can stage those changes).

NOTE: No cherry-picks this time !!

Cheers,

[1]: those tasks need to be linked/commented in 
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-29016
