IMHO, unless some wants to contribute here, it can go for good.

TBH it was not just porting to Qt5 but also architectural issues in later
versions which I refused to package the way they were designed
(depending on build-time config and weird 3rd party libs). And I don't
have time nor much interest to continue here.

Thanks for pushing, I am making this request RFA for now and it can
become RoM by the time you are RoMing qt4.

Best regards,
Eduard.
