essentially, you have created forks of qt repos from upstream. Are you
also syncing them on regular bases ?
So we never rebase/refresh the patches but do incremental patches
unless you decide to squash them ?

I am fine with this workflow. I have something similar in mind for
other components.It will help us push component
patches upstream as well. I am doing something similar for toolchain
components on my own but in the end generating
patches for public consumption.
