RTL comes into play anytime someone writes a custom widget. they need to 
ensure that painting code (usually inside paintEvent) does the Right 
Thing(tm) depending on the value of QApplication::layoutDirection() (or, 
isLeftToRight() and isRightToLeft(); all the same really =)

so it should probably be covered, but i'd personally suggest someone with 
experience in these things to contribute the language covering RTL issues. 
the basic rule is "all widgets should display properly in RTL as well as LTR 
modes." a note on how to test (e.g. with the -reverse command line option) 
would also be good.
