[Kde-imaging] Looking for maintainers for HTML Export and Batch Image Processing, plugins

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Aurélien,

I can manage some bug for HTML export tool, as usual with others
plugins, like metadata management. I cannot become a real maintainer.

About Batch tools, as digiKam has a batch queue manager, i will be
disable in the future in digiKam tools loading. So you need someone
working outside digiKam there.

This will be the same with Raw converter. Single dialog is already
disabled in digiKam. This will be the same for Batch dialog, due to
BQM from digiKam wich provide the same but in a better way.

For me Raw converter code is clean. Only new feature need to be add. I
can guide future contributors of course.

Best

Gilles
