I second this.

I work with Debian Qt/KDE team, helping here and there with user support
or bug triaging. They are doing an awesome job. And it is a lot of work
just to get Qt right. Then add all the KDE Framework packages on top of
it and Plasma, and KDE Application and what else not.

Some members of that team, like Maxy, are working heavily with
automating parts of packaging with scripts to handle the load. And Hefee
handles KDEPIM and Akonadi which is a beast by itself.

Of course, if anyone likes to help… go for it. It helps Devuan too :) We
are on irc.debian.org, channel #debian-qt-kde. There is also a mailing
list.

Thanks,
