IIRC it wasn't really rejected, there were just some requirements which have 
to be fullfilled before:
* should be BSD-licensed - done
* must not require Qt (if it is integrated directly into cmake) - not done

Well, it's not "kde4automoc" anymore, it's just "automoc4", lives in 
kdesupport and is independent from KDE. There should be separate packages for 
it. It's a small binary tool which doesn't introduce any new additional 
dependencies (except it itself) which you don't already have (i.e. QtCore).
