Proposal: Archive all unported Qt5 projects

Hi,

Qt6/KF6 has been around long enough that most KDE projects have been 
ported to it. Qt5 is increasing degrees of dead, and any project not 
ported to Qt6 is likely equally dead.

With that in mind I propose that we declare unmaintained and archive all 
KDE projects that still don't build with Qt6 (unless there's signs of 
active development or they are otherwise relevant).

In particular this would apply to the following projects:

Never released:
khipu
kde-nomodeset
kije
kirogi
tikzkit
pikasso
kdev-css
kdev-embedded
kdev-executebrowser
kdev-krazy2
kdev-mercurial
kdev-ruby
kdev-upload
kdev-verapp
kdev-xdebug
samba-mounter
polkit-kde-kcmodules-1

No release in a long time:
libqgit2
kdb
kproperty
kreport
kexi
kalternatives

Formerly part of KDE Gear:
cervisia

I have excluded Okteta and latte-dock since there is recent activity.

Any thoughts/concerns on this?

Cheers

Nico
