Which is its intended destination extragear-something?

Any reason not to use bugs.kde.org?

The i18n is quite broken, a simple grep gives me
./Config.cpp:39:    this->setWindowTitle(KApplication::instance()-
>applicationName() + QString(" - Configuration"));
./Config.cpp:48:    QLabel* hotkeyLabel = new QLabel("Shortcut to show 
Mangonel:", this);
./Mangonel.cpp:74:    m_actionShow = new KAction(QString("Show Mangonel"), 
this);
./Mangonel.cpp:92:    QAction* actionConfig = new QAction(KIcon("configure"), 
"Configuration", this);
./Mangonel.cpp:480:        m_descriptionLabel = new QGraphicsTextItem("(" + 
application.type + ")", this);

Besides all those units in units.c seem untranslatable.

Any reason for not using kunitconversion in there?

Also the units.c copytight header looks a bit scary

Cheers,
