For statistical graphics, sure.  But qtpaint will be useful to other
people who want to draw animations etc.  It seems like it's so close
to being a typical R api that we only need a few functions to complete
it.  This would also server as a convenient point for human written
documentation that describes things in a bit more detail, without
having to refer to the Qt documentation.
