Just adding my "i don't use kdesrc-build, and git clone kde:x everything 
myself" voice, here. Now, if a simple(ish) script can be created to make 
something akin to the kde: rewriting work, even if what it really does is to 
search gitlab and create a clone with the appropriate command, i could deal 
with that, but having the ability to simply ask for the project name is more 
than a little useful.
