Redirects could be done to the respective app pages below
https://www.kde.org/applications/
which are having similar info.

Not sure all apps have pages there already (e.g. KXStitch is to be found 
where? is not in /applications/graphics/ at least), so would be also good to 
fix that while doing so.

Anyone quick up to do that, first
a) add missing pages to kde.org/applications, then
b) adding redirects?

If noone is up for a), I might give it a go. Needs someone to tell me where to 
find the kde.org/applications sources.
