Andreas Färber is the most likely victim^H^H^H^H^H^Hmaintainer:

"I don't feel like the official qtest maintainer, but I care and am
actively working on it. I would consider it best to have individual
tests maintained by subsystem maintainers and only define a maintainer
for the core libqtest.c/qtest.c code."

Although I'm interested in libqtest myself I don't have the bandwidth to
review/merge all future patches in that area.
