I would appreciate if this would be coordinated with https://github.com/akhuettel/engauge-digitizer According to https://github.com/akhuettel/engauge-digitizer/issues/5 the goal was the Qt6 port which was really helpful. My guess is that the Gentoo maintainer would happily leave upstream work to other developers.
