Jonathan Riddell), I'd be happy to make Kooka "released".  As far as I
am aware it is fully ported to KF5 and has no major outstanding bugs or
issues.

I'm assuming that this does not mean making it an official part of
Applications, although it could adopt their YY.MM version numbering
scheme for consitency.  It would be better to be included in what used
to be called Extragear (now Self Released?).

I'll start to work through the review process checklist
(https://community.kde.org/ReleasingSoftware), and then try to submit
Kooka to kdereview - although that probably won't be able to be until
after the summer holidays.

Best regards, Jonathan
