But (this is a big but) the target of this set of patches shouldn't be a normal user but a distro packager, and we must show big warning saying that this does not mean that the developing is active and only trivial patches for critical bugs could be backported; sometime a single-line patch cannot be backported because all the logic around was changed, or the backport does not fix at all or even worse. Also, because the development is closed, no bugs should be reported because the first answer would be "can you try on a newer version?".
  
  
  But distro packagers are not going to use that branch: all (de facto, but see below) distributions switched to the Qt 5 version of Krusader long ago:

  Anything >= 2.5 is Frameworks- and Qt 5-based.

  Krusader is not related to Plasma at all.
  Slackware is probably the only historical distribution which hasn't switched to Qt5 yet, and in that case I'd suggest the usage of the ktown repository from  https://alien.slackbook.org ; and to be honest them using Qt 4 is not a reason to keep that old branch alive.
  
  Let me reiterate this: Qt 4 is gone, and it has been gone for a good while.
