Well, I suppose that there will ever be border-cases, like unsermake (even if 
it was never really released nor is a KDE application).

But you can also think of Kexi or Kolourpaint which had releases before having 
releases within the corresponding KDE module.

Kdereview or up means also that there must be a maintainer. Something in the 
quality of KFloppy could live somewhere in the playgrounds, as on one side 
being useful but on the other being unmaintained.

Of course those are only (not-so-good) examples and, of course, we could argue 
if this all is worth the extra efforts, being in the organisation, 
maintaining and runtime of Scripty or being it in the (apparent) waste of 
translators' work time.

Have a nice day!
