Can we move kf5_entry.desktop files into kconfigwidgets.git?

Hi,

I would suggest that we move the files `kf5_entry.desktop` from
`trunk/l10n-kf5/*/messages/kconfigwidgets/kf5_entry.desktop` into the
kconfigwidgets source code repository, presumably into
`kconfigwidgets.git/src/languages/*/kf5_entry.desktop`. A similar file
for US English `kconfigwidgets.git/src/entry.desktop` can also be
moved to `kconfigwidgets.git/src/languages/en_US
/kf5_entry.desktop`, for consistency.

kf5_entry.desktop files belong to source code because translators
aren't supposed to directly edit these files, and we can simplify
translations' automation scripts
(https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/l10n-scripty). A side effect is that
`kconfigwidgets._desktop_.pot` and `l10n._desktop_.pot` would converge
to just one file `kconfigwidgets._desktop_.pot`, however I don't think
it's a bad thing.


Is anyone currently working or planning to work on this move (or a
similar solution)?
Is there a tracking bug/Phabricator task?
