Fushan
* I created one merge request on qtdeclarative which can help port
many custom drag handler to Qt Quick Drag.
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/440738 But I
don't know how to compile tests. I have enabled
QT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT but still don't see any test executable. If
it can be merged
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1224 can
be merged.
[Discussion on how build tests]

Nico
* As usual most of what I did was somehow related to Qt6/KF6
* Make sure KWin effect configs only allow global shotcuts. This
worked before until it broke.
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3141
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3142
* Various "Port away from deprecated stuff"
* Various Qt6 ports
* Add test case for webapp matching in libtaskmanager:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2265

Aleix
Discover
    Performance: Did a push looking at some startup problems we might
be seeing, some fixes merged already, others waiting on upstream.
Nothing super big but it will feel fresher.
    Homepage: Merged a new design and included some new concepts.
    Navigation: As per external* feedback, thinking of some ways to
disentangle the feeling of category navigation with Discover.
KWin
    For KWin I've been trying to get a number of stuff I had lingering unstuck.
    Went for a refactor of how Plasma clients deal with DPMS.
    Continued pushing the artists on wayland epic on the tablet input
front, following the feedback from Blender Studio. See a number of
merge requests, exciting stuff for them I hope.

Carl
* I worked on a ci job for qmlformat:
https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/ci-utilities/-/merge_requests/52
feedback welcome on it
* and I also did a bit of work on the kirigami inlinemessage redesign

Marco
* a multiscreen refactor will be a big focus for Plasma 5.27
* functional branch of plasmashell which will be wired up with the new
screen ordering protocol, added several autotests, aiming for a good
coverage
* merged plasmashell multiscreen autotest
