Hi Everyone,
As discussed by david in his blog post [1], we worked on the component
in question to solve the problem of X11 applications that want to use
the screencasting services on Wayland.

While there's some corners to polish here and there, it's ready to be
used by everyone who needs it. In fact, people are using it from the
flatpak and distros want to ship it so we should probably make it
easier and regulated through a proper release.

First it should go through kdereview, then I'd suggest starting to
release it with Plasma 5.27 in one of the minor releases. I don't
think it's something we have done before but it doesn't add new
dependencies and it has an impact in our product offering which is,
incidentally, frozen due to the switch to *6.

I would appreciate the review of the module, I guess the "how to
release it" is something we can discuss in a couple of weeks once this
is sorted.

Thanks everyone!
Aleix
