ktoblzcheck supports multiple bank data files because bank data can have
a limited life time and ktoblzcheck supports reading multiple bank data
files.
When migrating to a sqlite database, this support should also be
migrated by adding from/to date columns that specify the valid date
range. For example, if a bank is included in the current SQLLite
database and not in the file being imported, it should be marked as
unavailable from the current date. If a bank is not contained in the
sqlite database but in the current blz file, it should be marked as
available from today. If there is no from/to entry in the database for a
specific bank, it is available without restrictions.

Because for historical reasons the project is hosted at sf.net.
It provides merge requests by forking the ktoblzcheck git repo similar
to github and then you can create a merge request from the personal repo.
It might be possible to migrate the project to the KDE infrastructure
(invent.kde.org, websites) as part of the GSOC project, but it would
have to be considered if this makes sense, as this project is intended
for KDE projects like KMyMoney, Skrooge, but also for non-KDE projects
like GnuCash, aqbanking and others.
One example: I can imagine to make the SQLite database available online
in the future. KDE uses the KDE Store for this purpose, but as far as I
know at the moment it only provides a KDE based API
(https://api.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/html/), which excludes other
projects like aqbanking, because this project uses a standard c++
implementation and only optionally includes Qt.
