Hi Lydia,
As you know kdeprint was removed in KDE4, and the former maintainers are no
longer active developers. If there are any 'orphan' e-mail addresses for
kdeprint related stuff, you can send them all to the old kde-print-
devel at kde.org mailing list which I monitor.
The kdeprint product and its components kdeprint, kdeprintfax, and kjobviewer
need to be closed for new bugs. At the moment, I'm assigning all KDE4 print
dialog related bugs to kdelibs/qt for investigation before sending them
upstream, but I wonder if we need a simple kdelibs/print-dialog component so
it's easy for people to find?
Finally, a lot of the Localisation related stuff used to be maintained by Hans
Petter Bieker <bieker at kde.org>, but I don't think he's been active for a long
time. I've slowly been taking over a number of his bugs for the stuff I work
on (KCalendarSystem, bits of KLocale, etc), if there's any products or
components he's default for and gives up/doesn't respond I'd consider taking
them on.
Cheers!
John.
