Your code doesn't build.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:19 (add_executable):
  Cannot find source file:

    src/ConnectionStandardItem.cpp

It means that once you joing KDE it's not yours anymore, it's ours, because you are \
now us.

Having a small team is "ok but not great".

But what's not going to happen for you importing your code to KDE's gitlab is that \
suddenly you get 10 new contributors (unless you do some noise about the app and sell \
it to developers) everyone here is already very busy.

I see that the last "code" commit was 10 months ago, that makes me a bit scared to be \
honest.

Cheers,
