Someone will have to write one.  Qt4 has numerous improvements which
should make it possible to write a reasonable reactor, instead of a
shambling horror (like the existing Qt reactor).

However, I don't use Qt myself, and I don't know any Twisted developers
who do.  If there are a sufficient number of Twisted users who are
interested in this, it may be possible to add support.  One way of
demonstrating that there is enough interest would be to have someone
donate a buildslave to run tests with Qt.  This would be easier for
PyQt4 than it is for the current Qt reactor, since PyQt4 won't
necessarily require an X11 server to run the test suite.
