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The Qt Quick branch is otherwise somewhat outdated vs. master so I would say ignore it for now.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