Does anybody know what kind of changes need to happen to port Qt 5 apps to Qt 6? I'm assuming it's not too traumatic but I'd be curious since everything is still on 5x (and that's not necessarily a bad thing since it's pretty mature).

No, and Google also doesn't spit it out as the first result when typing in "port qt5 to qt6".

Well, I ported qt4->qt5 (python) the API is very similar, so it was quite fast and easy.
I guess that port qt5->qt6 will not be hard, they mostly added new features

Almost nothing. Especially if you are already using 5.15 deprecated warning free. A whole suite of deprecation warnings were added in 5.15 to smooth over migration.
