That makes me smile.  I am a proponent of the strong maintainer model as long 
as it is working well.

Note that to migrate to testing it is going to need an unblock request.  
Hopefully, Jonathan Wiltshire, who uploaded it, will file one.  Looking at 
recent requests that have been approved for KDE packages for less serious 
things, I would imaging it would be approved.  For example:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1107340

c.buhtz, if Jonathan doesn’t file an unblock request, it is perfectly 
appropriate for you to do so.
