Hi,

Still? I don't see your opinion in bug report. Please send your comment there.
And do not forget to Cc the submitter: he will be able to write other arguments
or he will agree with you.

Upstream does not provide the the .desktop file. You provide it in debian
subdirectory:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/qgit.git;a=blob;f=debian/qgit.desktop;hb=HEAD

While it is not obligated, it is really easy to add one line in .desktop file
to make few GNOME users more happy. Something like [1] should be enough I
think.

[1] Keywords=RevisionControlSystem;VCS;DCVS;git;

Even in my system with KDE I see now:
$ grep -R ^Keywords= /usr/share/applications/* | wc -l
28

Ok. So they might be commented and/or closed, right? Though it is a
maintainer's decision to ignore or not ignore users of derivative distros.

Best regards,
