I believe qt6 has no active maintainer at the moment. Are you volunteering?

If so, remember that building a specialised version with minimum 
extensions & modules that just suit one of your own pet projects means 
that it may not be suitable for anything else. A big monster version 
with everything possible included (like -current?) will be much more 
useful to SBo users.
