It is too early for that. Qt 2.0 is not treleased. However, as soon as it is,
KDE and Qt may enter the main distribution (if a careful investgation
of the license shows no problems).
Furthermore, this is not a matter of voting, and has never been.
It is a matter of licenses and the definition of free software in the dfsg.
