FWIW, there is an irc/quassel in FreeBSD ports as well, although it isn't
owned by the kde@ group. It in turn uses qca's Qt5 build, which is-owned-by-
kde.
If the initial question from Nico was largely aimed at making an inventory of
KDE-Frameworks5 that still lives out there, there's 78 not-frameworks5 ports
in FreeBSD that use KF5. Again we get stuck on things-not-owned-by-kde@, and
whatever kinds of upstream there are. net/remmina (the VNC viewer), for
instance, which only added a KF5Wallet plugin 3 months ago (!?). kexi /
kproperty, kraft, .. those are things at the periphery of the KDE world which
may or may not be easy to update (e.g. Kraft 2.0)
