Yeah, I'm quite aware of Trolltech's occasional insanity. However, I'm
maintaining a fork anyway so maintaining the Debian package wouldn't
really be much extra work for me.
I'm not qualified to be the sole maintainer since I don't use KDE--I
don't even use many Qt apps other than ones I develop for beer money. A
group collaboration thing would be cool though.
I don't want to tear the package from Madkiss's hands if he doesn't want
to give it up, since it's really not worth fighting over to me. If he
wasn't so damn stubborn and difficult I'd even be willing to work with
him.
