Maybe you can start with filing a bug upstream, pointing them to the SIP v5
documentation and the examples of porting?

Oops, that is a bug. pyqt5-dev needs a rebuild against every new Qt version,
and apparently it did not happen when we updated to Qt 5.15.1.

I will make a new upload today to fix it, and will also ask upstream whether
it's possible to avoid this somehow.
