May I ask why not contribute these patches to upstream Qt?

Personally I contribute patches authored by me, the problem is the process is stalled due to Qt developers ignoring the patch: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/343628. This patch is the most basic in the sequence of changing default for better UX out-of-the-box (without playing with various Qt variables) and I decided to not to push the other changes until this one is merged (the logic is if they won't accept this one then they won't accept the other ones changing the defaults more obviously), but it stalled for two years.

But most patches are authored by @john-preston and he just has no time to participate in the Qt's bureaucratic process of reviews and rewriting patches in a way they would require.

Thanks for your reply! Sorry for my late reply due to I somewhat missed the email from GitHub.

It's sad to hear that patch is not accepted by Qt reviewers. But I'm mostly a Windows developer, I wonder why you don't contribute the Windows patches to Qt? They don't seem to be related to the Linux & macOS patches in this repo and they will not be blocked by the patch you mentioned above.

As I said, most patches are authored by @john-preston and he just has no time for that
