For me it seems that the settings are stored under the 
$XDG_CONFIG_HOM/[Application's organization Domain]/ and since the 
application in fact is the qmlscene it goes to the qt-project.org.

The question is if there is (or should be) a QML API for 
QCoreApplication::setOrganizationDomain() to work this problem around.

The best is to talk to the upstream devs and and ask them about the path 
scheme for settings.
