OK.

I was aware of this.  I checked team metrics for Qt/KDE team[1a] and
added who contributed over time despite I became aware that it included
past contributors.  It might be that even these might add some info
I could be interested in.  Thanks for adjusting the list anyway.

That's very welcome.

Nice.

I like the idea of the Pad.  Since I might not check this regularly
it would be helpful if you ping me with the address once the content
might stabelise.

Today some other question arrised.  As you might have read I've started
a Bug of the Day[2a] initiative.  One of your teams packages came up:



696493:	gtk2-engines-oxygen, Debian KDE Extras Team <pkg-kde-extras at lists.alioth.debian.org>
(important)	gtk2-engines-oxygen: iceweasel crashes when trying to open file requester while using gtk2-engines-oxygen
2014-08-04	Oxygen widget theme for GTK+-based applications
VCS: git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-kde/kde-extras/gtk2-engines-oxygen.git, Popcon: 2, StdVer: 3.9.5, testsuite: None, last upload: 2018-08-12, Homepage, uscan error


Not sure what that `extras` means actually.  I'd love to see this
package updated ... or removed.  It somehow seems that GTK2 will not be
supported any more which has lead to quite a number of bugs of this
package which I do not have any idea how this can be fixed.

It is time to remove this package?

Same.

Nice humor - and sorry again.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
