Disclaimer: this is only a personal opinion, not the decision of the 
kdewebdev team.
 I'd rather focus on a quick port of kdelibs to Qt4 and after that 
porting the application to Qt4 than spend time for a 3.5 application 
release and later have less time to port the application to Qt/KDE 4. 
So anybody who has the capability and is not afraid of touching kdelibs 
should help the core team. I'm sure that some areas are so weird that 
one or most two persons understand it, but there should be classes that 
can be ported without much hassle and possibly cleaned up meantime (or 
after there is a working port). 
 I don't know how it happened in the past when major versions came out 
and binary compatibility was broken, as I started to develop around the 
end of the KDE 2 life-cycle and was not following the core development 
at that time, but was there an organized way of doing it, small teams 
created? If no, it might make sense to make it now. But this can be a 
discussion in another thread.
