Pushing Plasma updates to bookwork

[Aurélien COUDERC]

Dear Team,

we currently have plasma 5.27.2 in bookworm, 5.27.3 in experimental and Patrick and I will be updating experimental with new upstream bugfix versions as they come by.

I tried to get an unblock pre-approval for Frameworks 5.104 with #1033271 and got a NACK but in my opinion not for the good reasons – difficulty for the release team to review / unblock that number of packages.

I'm *not* trying again with Plasma. I don't have better arguments than for Frameworks and I don't expect the same kind of inputs to get a different output.

So I'm reaching out to the team, maybe someone here can have a better idea on how to proceed.
Further Plasma 5.27.x releases have *loads* of fixes including important crashers and screen management-related fixes which would be a shame not to have in bookworm and would make the release strictly lower quality.

I'm slowly going through Frameworks releases and backporting seemingly important fixes on top of 5.103 but it feels like self-inflicted pain so motivation is low.
I'm *not* doing it for Plasma where the number of commits to backport would be even higher than Frameworks, and probably more intricate too.


All the best,
