 * qt5-build.eclass: pesa will update for new branching model asap ✅
 * upstream is placing binaries in /usr/lib/qt5/bin/ and providing a toolwrapper: TODO package the toolwrapper (pesa)
 * we are basically ready to provide ebuilds for 5.0 release of essential modules + addons that are part of qtbase repo

2. Qt4 updates

 * TODO yngwin: qt4-r2.eclass translation handling move to l10n.eclass (low priority, will do after Jan 19)
 * version bump to 4.8.4 done; should we fast-stable this because of bug 445956? let's wait one more week before asking arches to mark it stable - TODO yngwin

3. Razor-qt status update

 * upstream seems to be moving to 0.6 in ~3 months
 * 0.5.1 stable candidate? yes - TODO yngwin

4. Open bugs

 * 388551: x11-libs/qt-gui should export GTK2_RC_FILES when USE="gtkstyle" is enabled - is there any way we can improve this? let's leave it as is; we don't want to recommend deprecated gnome packages
 * 446287: mail-client/trojita-0.3.90: version bump - ✅ hwoarang
 * 443730: minitube desktop file: please apply patch - ✅ hwoarang

 * 347707: photivo - can we get a snapshot into official tree? yes - TODO hwoarang
 * 442414: app-editors/focuswriter - who wants to add an elog? - TODO yngwin
 * 410911: net-im/psi-0.15 version bump - this is already long overdue, who wants to work with proxy-maintainers to get this done? - TODO yngwin/pesa
 * 442178: net-libs/telepathy-qt-0.9.3 fails CallChannel test - low priority, leave open until someone has time or a new upstream release pops up
 * 444118: net-irc/communi new pkg - suggest proxy-maint, drop qt CC - TODO yngwin
 * 269110: new ebuild app-text/coolreader3 - in qt overlay now, see if it's ready to add release ebuild - TODO yngwin
 * 441914: x11-libs/qtsingleapplication please package - yes, but low priority - TODO kensington?
 * 440584: x11-libs/qt-gui-4.8.2: some elog messages should only be shown when upgrading from an old enough package - TODO yngwin (low priority)
 * 431460: dev-python/PyQt4: Synchronize USE flags with dev-python/pyside - TODO pesa

5. Open floor
We can use some more help. It was agreed that it would be a good idea to announce this widely - TODO yngwin to write announcement. We can offload app maintenance to proxy-maintainers, and at the same time invite them to get more involved.
