for example, the information that a build with updated dependencies

propagation of the dependencies can be done in a "shadow" branch of
the qt5 repository (technically, that could be a single gerrit change
that gets progressively updated).
Yeah, I was also thinking of using git notes perhaps for storing the
information separately. (Doesn't seem to be enabled in our Gerrit?
Hopefully I'm wrong :).
i don't think using git notes is particularly useful here. the number of
affected commits would be rather low, so having an additional commit
message footer would not hurt. extracting that information would also be
rather easy (git log from the last reference point).
After about 7 months elapsed without anybody picking up a smarter
solution, Lars and I sat down and implemented the "dumb" one -- we
really want to get going with Qt 6.
that seems like rather fallacious thinking. the solution i propose
certainly doesn't seem significantly harder than what you did; the main
issue is as usual getting past the inertia of the whole system, and you
have that anyway.
