No. This is not a matter of packaging it. This is a matter of attracting
new small contributions, a matter of making it accessible, ....

I know how to do packaging - and I still don't get paid even though you
seems to claim it from time to time.

$ apt-cache search kmail
..
kmail - KDE Email client
..

I often get asked by people who wants to fix their pet bug in kmail or
kopete or klipper or .... but end up not wanting to do it because they
can't easily just build klipper without building entire
kdebase/workspace.
