Hi Alex,
[quote author="AlexBravo" date="1278816665"]Robin, it would be nice if you could turn the link in your first post into an actual link. It would be nice if more people could read your post.[/quote]
Just because you asked so nicely.. done :)

Do you know of any plans of them opening it? Last time I talked to Thiago about it, he was not indicating any such plans. It was about 9 months ago though...[/quote]
It will have to be, sooner or later. I suggest you read up on the discussions about open governance:
"Thiago's initial announcement of open governance":http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/06/03/qt-and-open-governance/
"Open governance mailing list announcement":http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/07/02/open-governance-mailing-list/
If you're interested in shaping the future of Qt, I suggest you get involved there.
Essentially, Qt is moving towards being an open driven project, and as a result, the open infrastructure I talked about is going to have to happen.
The work I did on testing infrastructure for merge requests is also being worked on by some people at Nokia, so I've largely decided to not reinvent the wheel, and instead, to fit in with their efforts.
