It is a released part of KDE SC, but nobody seems to have packaged or
tested it.  I think it should be removed from KDE SC until it is
better tested.

Yes using the new API means we can finally have cross desktop password storage.  \
Gnome Keyring already supports secret service DBus API.

It has a new DBus API and a new library with API for clients.

In Kubuntu it's in the kubuntu-ppa/experimental PPA, I'm not aware of other distros \
that have packaged it.

There's also a list for it which is pretty quiet
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/ksecretservice-devel

ksecrets does not seem to have a GUI or config tool.
