There have been a few attempts of porting kig to Qt6

https://invent.kde.org/education/kig/-/merge_requests

But they are suffer from the "I am going to port the whole application at the 
same time".

Which makes it basically unreviewable.

The "proper" way (we did this for most of the other applications) is to port 
it by small bits.

Sadly we were not able to communicate that properly to the person that did the 
effort of porting.

If you think you can reuse their porting and break it into smaller bits that 
are self contained it would be great if you can help with that.

If you have questions on development you can join the kde development matrix 
https://matrix.to/#/#kde-devel:kde.org where some things may get answered 
faster than here, but if still you don't get an answer there post here again.

Cheers,
