eh no, my domain knowledge is not enough and I already maintain too much.

My suggestion for maintainer is shared responsibility of Plasma team. Not 
optimal, but still better than the unmaintained state it's currently in. And 
Plasma needs polkit.

The name makes kind of sense. It's a Qt wrapper for polkit-1. If you have a 
better name suggestion: sure, but it shouldn't cause breakage for existing 
code.
