Hi Ben,

How do we change i18n branches in this XML file after disabling
projects.kde.org?

Do I get it right that it will be impossible to create a scratch
repository for a 30-minute task or for a proof-of-concept application
without asking the "majors"?

I think it's totally fine because there are many other Git hostings
where you can do quick-and-dirty development from scratch. And you can
move your repo to git.kde.org as soon as it matures. The main pros of
this approach would be a cleaner quickgit.kde.org page and of course
saving of disk space on servers.
