Thank you for your offer to contribute.
First off, please read about and understand the Debian release process.
Debian Testing is currently in freeze¹. So for anyone who knows about
the release process there is no surprise that the packages are not
updated until Debian 10 aka Buster is released.
If you like to help, I suggest you show up on #debian-qt-kde IRC channel
on OFTC and introduce yourself to the Debian QT/KDE team there. However
please understand this will not change the situation until Debian 10 is
released. Debian testing/unstable is not a rolling distribution during
that period.
In any case please refrain from sending mails which include image bugs
and tracking links like:
https://mailtrack.io/trace/mail/7d833[…;]
I was very close to not answering your mail due to that as I thought it
might be a spam mail.
And also please do not use HTML mails².
I highly recommend you use a mail provider that respects privacy.
