I've replied to you but unfortunately your mail provider / filter seems to discard my mails. I will continue maintaining KeePassX for the time being but likely only do important bugfixes and other necessary changes (like the port to Qt5). > I'm also long-time user of keepassx. > > I checked the upstream.

Qt 4 won't be removed from buster. There are still lots of packages using it in the archive. Switching keepassx to Qt5 this late (essentially after the freeze) seems inappropriate to me. I don't see the release team unblocking this. Cheers, Felix
