That sounds amazing! It'd also make it much easier for me to test
in-development Qt releases (without the new API) if I could create a wheel with
e.g. Qt 5.14, push it to my own server in some way, and use it via CI.

If I'm reading this right, you said you would ;-)

For qutebrowser, I'd appreciate being able to test the latest Qt LTS easily on
CI, without having to set up my own package index.
