In kdegames alone: KPat, KPoker, Lt. Skat, Megami.

Unless I'm mistaken: Stephan Kulow maintains KPat, Andreas Beckermann 
maintains KPoker, Martin Heni maintains Lt. Skat, and I maintain Megami.

Well, isn't that what this list is for?  I'd swear he's on this list, since 
we saw mail from him just a day or two ago. :-)

I know the other three card games maintainers I listed are on this list, 
and I see Martin has expressed other possible reservations with REKO.

(I'd still support an installer being written, and perhaps shipped in 
kdeartwork.)
