What's this fork ??!! We will not support it...

Source code from kipi-plugins is here :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository

And yes, if repository from github is a copy (why ???) of OFFICIAL
repository, well tyou need libkipi from git/master :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdegraphics/libs/libkipi/repository

kipi-plugins + libkipi source code is provided to OFFICIAL tarball.
Look on README file for details.
