Basically, what you're saying is that KDE releases a lot of software that just basically never changes, and apart from some translation work is actually unmaintained. 

I don't think that those projects, or rather repositories, since if there's no work being done, it's hard to see that as a project, should shape policy.

If a repo can get by with just merging stable to master, I don't think it's seeing meaningful development -- why should it even be released?
