Call for KEdit Maintainer

Summing up the kutils/KEdit thread on kde-core-devel it seems like there is a 
desire to keep kedit around for the users that don't want to use kwrite, but 
it should be moved into extragear.   KWrite can do bidi now so the main 
reason for KEdit is for the old users who used it.  This sounds like a good 
idea as long as there is someone to take care of it.  So I am putting out a 
request for a maintainer.

KEdit is a fairly small application, but it needs some attention.  It 
currently has 22 bugs opened against it.

http://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=kedit&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

It will also be the only application that will still use the KEdit class 
(KNode and KMail are moving away from it) so that might also want to be done.  
There are no doubt other KDE4 porting and testing efforts that will need to 
be done.  You don't have to introduce dramatic new features, but just keep it 
working and bug free.

So if you are interested please reply back.  If there is no real interest it 
will be removed (it is still in the svn!) until such time as a maintainer is 
found.  (in other words if there really is a desire it will be kept)
