Additionally there is the option of going into KDE extragear, permanently or 
even just for a while.

We at KDE PIM do the latter for Akonadi resources provided by new developers, 
e.g the Google Data resource.
It has the advantage that the author can do more releases at the beginning, 
e.g. two or three between KDE releases, can decide on release dates (e.g. 
delay if a critical bug is found), etc.

The application is still being translated by KDE's localization teams, it can 
be tagged to automatically be included in a source tarball at KDE releases, 
etc.

Famous extregear apps are Amarok and K3b.

Cheers,
Kevin
