Apologies if the next question sounds a bit blunt I didn't figure out how word 
it in a somewhat better way.

Is this something we want to pretend the community is doing?

That is, do we want to try to make this "a KDE thing" or is it clearly 
structured as a Techpaladin/Kubuntu Focus thing?

For me the second option makes it "simpler".

Then my suggestion would be to just create "vendor" branches like the ones 
that we have for example in kleopatra/mimetreeparser/friends

  gpg4win/23.10
  gpg4win/24.05
  gpg4win/gpd-5.0
  gpg4win/gpd-5.1

So create something like kubuntufocus/26.04

Maybe it would even make sense to create such branches for KDE Plasma 6.6 
(after final 6.6.6 is released) and KDE Gear 25.12?

Cheers,
