I think Qt development is beyond KDE's control in terms of defining
policies.

But talking with the Trolls works and has always worked. For example
people have contributed codecs in the past, or Seli for example
created the on-demand icon loading through QIconSet (I think they
didn't take his patch right away but the basic idea of the icon
factory remained) .

So, if something is needed I think you should talk to them,
communicate. But I don't see how we (KDE) can define a policy
here...
