[Kde-pim] ktimetracker status & maintainership

[Zoltan Gyarmati]

Dear All,

after using ktimetracker on a daily basis since a couple of months, last
week i decided to look into its annoyances and try to fix them, maybe
even adding some new features, instead of starting to implement my own
solution :)

 Looking around it seemed that the project definitely could use some
care, so to get myself familiar I more-or-less fixed a few bugs and sent
review requests with my patches (see at
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/users/zgyarmati/, and the bugs #285160,
#225139, #215783, #304778, #340650).

 At the weekend i also looked into the historical context, and dug out
from the git logs that the component was removed from master back in
May, and that a few months before that the maintainer orphaned the
project (see http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-pim&m=138106648612783&w=4 ).

 So if it's not too late to revitalize the project, i would like to take
over the maintainership. According to the Debian and Ubuntu popularity
contest's pages still there are a couple of users out there, and also
there are some fresh bug reports and even patches at bugs.kde.org, so i
think it would worth it.

 My conception would be to first review the existing (numerous) bugs (i
think a couple of them is ALREADYFIXED or even WORKSFORME), and fixing
at least the serious ones in the 4.14 branch, doing some code cleanup,
maybe add a few previously requested small features.
 In the next phase i would do the porting to Qt5 and Frameworks (right
now it can't build, although seems to be straightforward to port it),
and adding a couple of new features, and a certain level of maturity
proposing to merge it back into master.

 As i don't have any previous experiences in the KDE community, it's
unclear for me how to proceed with this. Is it enough to write this
mail, or should i consult specifically with somebody? Who can reassign
the existing bugs to me? My workflow would be to send my commits to the
reviewboard and somebody will promote it to the git repo, or after a
ramping up period i can get direct git access?

Please let me know your insights and comments,
thanks in advance,
