Not a huge fan of this, privacy-wise, also QtQuick doesn't do any caching on its own

This thing is missing Accessible and keyboard handling, can you make this style AbstractButton or something instead?

That binds to itself?

Can this be done using a binding?

Coding style, spaces

Context menus open on press, not click

Coding style, braces

Add edit-copy icon

Can we have this return a QStringList instead instead of assuming this will be rendered as html list? Or is that "not public api"?

Add some docs, also information isn't very descriptive name, also @since

I do agree it can read a bit weird.
It's generally done on public emails though, I'm not sure why it's bad.

If we feel better about it, I can drop it and we port it to something else we're happy with some day.

It used to be an AbstractButton, I remember it having weird behaviors in layouts, and in general we actually want it to behave as a Label.
I'll add Accessible.

I don't think we can have icons in menus yet in Qt 5.9.

It seems to me that this is not really a privacy issue - it's the developer emails being leaked here, and those are made all manner of public already. If it were the end user's gravatar we fetched like this, yeah, maybe not the best thing, but i think it's ok for this particular purpose.

i've been trying to come up with a better name than the very generic "information" one, and... well, i've got "versionInformation" and that doesn't really get much better... At the same time, maybe teamed up with the comment below regarding returning a string list rather than a formatted string, perhaps if that is done, then calling it "runtimeVersions" or something to that effect might make sense.

Usually i'd go with "if it's difficult to name, you probably did something wrong", but the "something wrong" in this case is that none of the version information is available from within QML, which... well, seems slightly outside the scope of this patch ;)

Not talking about the developer's emails, more talking about "this computer is sending a request to that server without the user really knowing which will now know the IP and that they exist"
