The qt5/qt gstreamer plugin provides a qt/qml components to show gstreamer pipelines and similar. This is used in Nheko, a Matrix client I develop, to show video in video calls. Nheko itself is in the guru overlay and others. It would be awesome if those overlays in the future could enable video call support in Nheko. To do that, the qt5 plugin is needed and in my opinion it makes the most sense to maintain that in ::gentoo, since it should be updated together with the other plugins.
