The development list is right next to this one. It's development@qt-
project.org. Make sure you subscribe so you receive the replies.
The code is what you already have :-)
But we recommend you download the sources from Git. The instructions are on
the wikis.

That's unlikely, but not impossible.
Qt 5.0 is feature-frozen already, so we cannot accept the code into qtbase.
However, you're more than free to start working on a new module, even if by
5.1 we move it into qtbase. That way, you make your own schedule and you could
release it by 5.0 time too.

It might not be possible. To embed something from another process, you
definitely need to communicate with that process about some platform-specific
handles and IDs. Depending on how much is platform-specific, having a platform-
independent wrapper might not make sense.
