AFAIU this is not only about cc'ing the KEG list.
Did you speak to the KEG maintainer? Did he allow you to import it?

I am wondering whether the Freedesktop.org CVS repository would be the
right place if the library is used by non-KDE apps as well. Especially
if it is a dependency for both KDE and other desktop apps.

Some of these are applications, and some libraries. While I think that
mixing those into the same module is not a very clean approach, it is
much better then moving libraries to KEG.
