An indian student named Janardhan Reddy currently work on it. We have
already ported JPEGLossLess plugin :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/jpeglossless/plugin/actionthread.h

It's bassed on this common class in libkipiplugins :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/common/libkipiplugins/tools/threads/actionthreadbase.h

Benjamin Girault will port in few week (after exam) Expoblending and
Panaorama classes :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/expoblending/manager/actionthread.h
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/panorama/manager/actionthread.h

It still few classes to port, for ex into DNGConverter, RAWConverter,
SendImages, etc. grep actionthread.cpp for details. If you want to
assign some items to your students, lets me hear...

It's not to complex to do. You need to grep all tool using this dialog :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/common/libkipiplugins/dialogs/batchprogressdialog.h

and check if kipi host application support progressmanager (digiKam do
it of course) :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdegraphics/libs/libkipi/repository/revisions/master/entry/libkipi/interface.h#L163

...using this method :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdegraphics/libs/libkipi/repository/revisions/master/entry/libkipi/interface.h#L186

... and use this progress widget in plugin :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/common/libkipiplugins/widgets/progresswidget.h

...instead a standard QProgressBar...
