Hi Friedrich,

Sorry for the late reply :) My feedback is positive as well. Thank you for \
the offer, I would also gladly accept.

As far as I know master should be reeleasable. The Qt Quick branch may have \
a few fixes I should look into porting back to master, but nothing that \
should block a release.

The Qt Quick branch is otherwise somewhat outdated vs. master so I would \
say ignore it for now. Some of the work done in there is still quite decent \
and worth dusting off some day, although it also needs porting to newer \
Kirigami components which since have become available.

Who knows, maybe the new activity you incite will cause us to become active \
again in turn!


Cheers,
Eike
