Yes, I got fairly far with porting all PyQt5 SIP consumers (including
calibre) to use SIPv5. I think I then got discouraged at the thought of
making a bunch of PRs and having to nag maintainers to merge them in some
sort of coordinated fashion.
I guess - if I get everything working, would you be willing to merge a bunch
of related PRs as provenpackager and do rebuilds in a side tag?
Sure! As long as maintainers are on board...
At this point, it might also make sense to go directly to SIPv6 as
that's
out already.
I'm not sure how wide support for 6 is, but I suspect it's easier to get
to than 4-5 was. ;)

As far as sip6 goes, I'd venture the adjustment from v5 to v6 will be
smaller than what v4 to v5 was.
Yeah, agreed.
Happy to work with you both and get this done. :)
