I think you may have not looked at the URL enough.

This does needs incubation, he's just developing it in a private repository, but he doesn't have a KDE Developer account. Without a KDE Developer account we can't move this out of https://invent.kde.org/plata/ to something like https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/ or whatever would make sense since he'd lose commit access when the move happened.

Cheers,
