In preparation for 2.9.0 and 3.0, I'm not sure if there's also any interest in migrating the Windows buildbots to the latest Qt LTS release, 5.12.0, which was just released on December 6, 2018?  I've successfully compiled Wireshark master with it with no issues, except for the missing PDB (which was also showing up with 5.11.2), and which generates this single warning:

         qtmain.lib(qtmain_win.obj) : warning LNK4099: PDB 'qtmain.pdb' was not
        found with 'qtmain.lib(qtmain_win.obj)' or at '<build output directory>
                 \run\RelWithDebInfo\qtmain.pdb'; linking object as if no debug info

Current build information, for reference:

Delaying the 3.0 release is fine with me. I've updated my calendar as follows:

December 12 (today): Release 2.9.0
January 9: Branch master-3.0
January 30: Release 3.0.0
