Merge access review + QT6 update best practices

Hi everyone,

I have two requests for help.

First one is that I updated one of my ports, but I don't have merge access. Would appreciate it if someone can review. Ideally would merge to main + backport to quarterly. If there's something missing in the report that should be there, please let me know!

Second is for net-im/telegram-desktop that has no maintainer. It was working great for me until a QT6 update (6.6.1->6.6.2). Surprisingly, even with that minor of a bump, Telegram Desktop quit launching. I'm not sure if that's normal for QT6 or not.

I can easily contribute a patch to update it, forcing a new package version release, but it seems like there might be a better practice to link this to QT6 updates where it's automatically rebuilt when they are updated.

One simple option might be to backport the latest version in main to quarterly, which would force a rebuild, presumably with the latest QT6. I still don't know if that's ideal, however.

Thank you for your thoughts and insights.

Truly,

-Henrich
