How about the Qt company providing Qt as a Conan package on bintray.com? Conan is currently the most versatile packager solution and is much better suited for CD than vcpkg, choco and what not. This shouldn't be even a full-time job and would create a *lot of value* for the open source community and might help to expand your user base without adding costs for maintaining infrastructure and download bandwidth. Every open source user is a good for the Qt eco system and ensures that Qt stays relevant. You could also contribute to https://github.com/bincrafters/conan-qt and ensure that it is properly working and pre-built binary packages are available. It would be in the best interest of the Qt project and thus also of the Qt company.
