Thanks for this and for Kup. That’s really helpful !

I think it’s really a good idea to put it in the team’s perimeter, if only to 
avoid a bus factor of 1. :)

Like Lisandro said it’s not like we want to package-all-the-things, the number 
of packages we take care of is already quite big. But it will give the package 
more visibility (at least to us :) and hopefully inspire you into contributing 
to other Qt/KDE packages. :D
Feel free to come hang on #debian-qt-kde on OFTC if you like IRC.

We keep the /kde group for core KDE packages like KF5, PIM, Apps, Plasma, so I 
think kup would belong to /extras for now.

The next steps would be :
- make the Maintainer the following:
    Debian KDE Extras Team <pkg-kde-extras at lists.alioth.debian.org>
- put yourself in the Uploaders:
- give me (salsa username @coucouf) or anyone you trust in the team co-owner 
of the repo so we can move it to /extras
- update the Vcs-* fields in d/control to the new location
- Upload the changes so they are visible to the various tools in Debian.

kdsoap could probably follow the same route. Maybe it’s more for 3rdparty than 
extras as it’s remotely KDE and not even hosted on invent.kde.org.


Happy hacking !
