Sure, I believe someone will sooner or later submit patches to Qt.

CMake has everything necessary there install(...) & fixup_bundle(...).

$ git show 9b98fd52

install_qt5_plugin writing qt.conf and launching fixup_bundle should be part of Qt5 CMake support not part of app specific CMakeLists.txt (in this case CMake.app), e.g. single function install_qt5_bundle that does it all, selects default platform plugins and it is clearly documented somewhere.

Also on Qt SDK side there are couple of things to be done: QTBUG-14150 QTBUG-31814
