Thanks for the update. I just want to say 'hear hear' (or at "least Looks good to me, but someone else must approve") ;)
I do think that it would be a *very good idea* to have a QtWidget maintainer. Not because Girish isn't a good approver (since he obviously is) - but in order to ensure that people sees QtWidgets as alive. One of the reasons people consider Qt Widgets as dead (and can argue that they are) - is the lack of a maintainer(!) - and it would be far easier to spread the word about QtWidgets if we had a such. But of course the Widgets are still alive - and Stephen Kelly is also helping improving the Item Views in Qt Widgets - and afaik there has been some nice fixes. To brag a bit I have (with his help) improved QHeaderView so that TableViews can handle many data and unlike Qt4 do moveSection, swapSection(s), hideSection and trunc of model reasonable fast. (Hopefully without any regressions:) ) However - the above is actually not just to brag. It is to give an example of something that has been improved. We need to show and know(!) about QtWidgets progress. It is easy to state: "Qt is alive" - but someone could ask ... "why?". (And the reason 'it wasn't killed is not enough ...). So if people knows about big (or many) improvements to QtWidgets - it could be a good place and time to speak up. So here is a good chance for people to give credit to themselves (or others) Btw. Is somebody looking into the regressions in QGraphicsView?
