Again there is noone working on the KDE/4.14 branches except kdepim*.

You don't seem to understand what KDE Applications is about.

KDE Applications is about giving our users the best experience they can get, 
it can be based on kdelibs4 or KF5, that doesn't matter.

So the fact that Applications/14.12 or Applications/15.04 or 
Applications/15.08 exists for a repository doesn't mean anything other than 
there's 3 stable branches and a master branch.

I've explained it to you guys in the past and you didn't seem to understand 
it, since I'm explaining it the same way, I'm not sure I'll help making you 
understand it.

But anyway this is not the critical issue here.

This is interesting because you say you don't have time but still there's lots 
of commits to KDE/4.14 branches of kdepim* by you :)

It's a small but important detail, tell the release people you want to be part 
of the release.

akonadi is part of kdesupport, we don't release kdesupport repositories as 
part of KDE Applications. 

akonadi-search is part of playground, we don't release playground repositories 
as part of KDE Applications.
