Anybody working on kig?

[Maurizio Paolini]

I am a frequent user of kig and a co-developper up to some years ago.
The history of kig started by Dominique Devriese as a rewrite of kgeo,
when I started my collaboration.  A few persons took the responsibility
of maintaining the package, I remember Pino Toscano and later David
Narvaez.

Thank you Markus if you volunteer to take care of the port to Qt6, I am
certainly not able to do that.
