If both numeric format specifiers and "others" are used, assume we're dealing with a Qt-formatted message. In the case of Qt formatting (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#arg) only numeric formats are replaced at all. This means "(percentage: %1%)" is valid (which was introduced in #9461), without needing any kind of escaping that would be necessary for strprintf. Without this, this function would wrongly detect '%)' as a printf format specifier.

Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the above github-merge.py script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
Build Tools and Keys
Debian
Contains files used to package bitcoind/bitcoin-qt for Debian-based Linux systems. If you compile bitcoind/bitcoin-qt yourself, there are some useful files here.
Gitian-descriptors
Notes on getting Gitian builds up and running using KVM.
Gitian-keys
PGP keys used for signing Bitcoin Core Gitian release results.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac builds.
RPM
RPM spec file for building bitcoin-core on RPM based distributions
Gitian-build
Script for running full Gitian builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Verify Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.
