I am the de facto maintainer of the kde-gtk-config repository. As of now the name of this repository on GitLab is "KDE GTK Configurator" and the description is "Syncs KDE settings to GTK applications". I think there could be a better name and a description for the project. Current one has a couple of issues:<br>
<br>
1. Current repository name itself does not show the purpose of the things, that it contains. Why it exists? What problem it actually solves?<br>
2. The description is not accurate. It's not only about syncing some kde (maybe Plasma?) settings to GTK. It also provides a way to set a GTK theme in Plasma.<br>
3. The name does not show its relation to Plasma and the fact, that that "Configurator" only works in that desktop envinroment.<br>
<br>
Actually the code's job in that repository is providing a smooth experience for GTK applications in Plasma, so that they looks more native, in other words it integrates GTK into Plasma.<br>
<br>
Given all of that I think the better name for the repository would be "plasma-gtk-integration", On GitLab it could be called "Plasma GTK Integration" with the description "Components necessary to integrate GTK applications into the Plasma Desktop".<br>

What do people think of that change? Does anyone have any suggestions to improve the renaming?<br>
