Looking at 

$ git shortlog -sn --since="1 year"
   117  l10n daemon script
    28  Volker Krause
    12  Heiko Becker
     7  Albert Astals Cid
     5  Jonathan Marten
     2  Friedrich W. H. Kossebau
     1  Boudhayan Bhattacharya
     1  Julius Künzel
     1  Oliver Kellogg
     1  Torsten Rahn
     1  justus schwartz

There's basically almost no-one working on Marble given Volker i think did 
only work on some web generation stuff and Heiko and me are managing version 
increases.

You already found https://invent.kde.org/education/marble/-/issues/12 so 
that's what it is.

Someone needs to step up, and move ahead merging/fixing that "old" marble-qt6 
branch to master. Torsten was almost convinced to do it 4 months ago, but 
seems he didn't.

Cheers,
  Albert
