But who is (or would be) working on features in kdecore | kdeui | kio | kfile?

Feel free to prove me wrong, but with most kdelibs developers working on 
either bugfixing or frameworks, I don't see who's left to work on features in 
kdelibs.

I agree that e.g. plasma and nepomuk might be in a different situation though.

Maybe with a proper git merge support for kdelibs master we could re-evaluate 
the decision to freeze it, it's less work than having to cherry-pick every fix 
into 3 branches.
