After reading again the discussion on the KDE mailing list and having a look
at your package, it's not ready for the KDE:Extra repository (nor any other).
First the package issues:
- liquidshell is nowhere close to be a "replacement" (as your .spec file
claims) or an alternative to plasmashell.
- Users don't care if it's using QtWidgets or QtQuick.
I strongly suggest rethinking the branding and updating the documentation.
- the current spec file doesn't match the openSUSE standards, start with
running spec-cleaner.
- while at it, also remove the fedora and mandriva compatibility lines. I
doubt this spec file can build anything for these distributions.
- the license tag is also wrong, liquidshell is GPL-3.0-or-later.
Now on the software itself:
I recommend readers of this mailing list to avoid installing this application
but I won't block it if you maintain it and deal with the bug reports.
I'll object to have it submitted to openSUSE:Factory, however.
