After talking a bit with Christopher Martin, we see no inconvenient in
you placing your Qt4 packages under the "Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers"
umbrella. Only note that we're not precisely overwhelmed with manpower
at the moment, which will probably mean that you won't automagically
get lots of helping hands. But having the packages in open maintenance
mode is definitely a good thing.
Also, as you probably know, the qt-kde list is already high traffic,
but there are mechanisms to sort out the traffic regarding Qt packages
(subscribing to the PTS separately, procmailing by the
X-Debian-PR-Package header, using a MUA filter, etc.).

OK. If you finally choose Subversion, you may want to use the existing
repository for the Alioth pkg-kde project. But please feel free to use
whichever you prefer.
We will be glad to cooperate more closely. Thanks & good luck,
P.S.: Will you change the name of the source package to qt4-x11?
