I've added myself as the maintainer of shiboken2 and pyside2(-tools). I 
also added shiboken6 and pyside6(-tools) (masked for testing). 
Unfortunately the latter is stuck on python3_10 only at the moment, 
adding python3_11 to this is a whole new can of worms.

Help with these packages is most welcome. They are notoriously difficult 
and fragile.

Best regards,
