Sounds great!

Cool. I don't think there's generally urgency - there has not been KF5 
bindings for years (and it surprised me to learn that actually). However, 
collaborating in one repo and one way forward would be better than two.

Cool. I saw things related to KConfigSkeleton and KLocalizedString which are 
presumably useful to make real bindings. So far, I've just discarded those 
in the bindings I've made.

I also filed

for tracking by the CI team.

Thanks,
