30 days isn't a long time. How about filing bugs against anything that
currently uses qt3 right away, so that maintainers have an extra three
weeks to resolve these issues? Granted, one would hope they've been
paying attention.
As a random example, the current stable version of mythtv uses qt3, but
I don't see any open bugs about that (that package is probably an easy
fix as the newer versions use qt3support, and that version is already
stable upstream).
Usually the approach in these situations is to have a big tracker bug
for qt3 removal and a million blocker bugs against individual packages.
I'm not saying you can't move forward until everybody else gets their
acts together, but tracking this in bugzilla probably isn't a bad move
if it isn't too much work. Plus, you might decide that one or two of
the blockers really are critical, and decide to work with those
maintainers more closely or escalate the issue.
