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The Qt Quick branch is otherwise somewhat outdated vs. master so I would say ignore \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
