Can you please tell if any applications in Debian repos are affected by this
bug? You mentioned libqtgstreamer but it's a library — do you know if there is
a concrete application that can be used to reproduce that crash?

It is unlikely that we will be able to fix it, provided that upstream patch
is not publicly available. So I am downgrading severity to make this bug not
block the release of Debian Bullseye. This bug does not satisfy the criteria
for critical anyway, because not the whole libqt5widgets5 library is broken,
but only a specific use-case of it (which is also a deprecated one). Also
I am removing the newcomer tag — newcomers won't have enough knowledge to be
able to fix it.
