That depends on the size of this company.
Do you want a small company to do some development and keep some level of CI
running? That requires a certain amount of funds and contracting.
Do you want a company that has all the current developers and marketing and
community and sysadmin, keeping the CI system at the current level and expand
it, and continue hiring, and run Qt Developer Days and the Summit and
everything else? That requires a lot more funding.
