have a packagekit here that uses networkmanager: 
https://build.pub.meego.com/package/show?package=PackageKit&project=home%3Amart%3Abranches%3AProject%3AKDE%3ADevel

about connman i think is still alive as part of tizen, but not exactly 
developed in the open..

personally i think moving to networkmanager at mer level as well would be more 
future proof, i guess the resiztence at the moment is that the other ui 
projects have ui only for connman?
