Some facts:
- Debian Qt/KDE maintainers are involved upstream by providing patches
and support for non-popular architectures.
- Our work is the base for a popular Linux distribution (namely
Ubuntu) and benefit to a larger community than Debian itself.
- We're working actively to provide the best Qt support on ARM
architecture (see the work done on armhf; involving Linaro, Ubuntu and
KDE)
- We'll be represented at the Qt Contributors’ Summit, an invitation
only summit, to discuss about Qt future and the Open Governance.

Also, I would like to update "Amount of support required" section:
instead of linking to Debconf sponsorship, put the facts directly,
including sponsorship level.

As far as I know, we aren't part of the Qt Ambassador Program (Debian
or individuals).
The 1st step will be to fulfill the mandatory requirement:
public projects that we can show in our Qt Ambassador showcase.
For example, running Qt on Debian isn't sufficient.

Cheers,
