They are, but I disagree with creating versions before they are released.
If you find a bug in git from after 5.54 and before 5.55, then you shouldn't
report the bug as a 5.55 bug. Because there might be a bugfix coming before
5.55 is out, and your bug report would really confuse the developers.

This is why I don't want to create 5.55 in bugzilla before it's officially released.
Even in the last week, git had 5.21.0-rc2 tags, but no 5.21, to leave the possibility
of a last minute critical bugfix getting into 5.21.0 final. If you start reporting bugs
during that week, there's the risk of the confusion described above.

No it also has plasma5 krunner, with version numbers going up to 5.6.2.
But that's not the KF5 numbering scheme (5.21 today), so we can't really
mix the two (krunner and frameworks-krunner) into the same bugzilla product.

Kai, do you agree with being the frameworks-krunner maintainer (in bugzilla
and in the .yaml file) ?

Thanks,
