A lot of KDE specific configuration management is provided as part of 
kde-common/admin which is exclusively maintained by the following people:
matz,lunakl,coolo,faure,mueller,hausmann,staikos,waba,adridg,ossi,binner

See kde-common/accounts to map the above CVS account names to real names & 
e-mail addresses.

Individual CVS modules or individual applications can have their own specific 
tests on top of the functionality provided by kde-common/admin cq. by using 
tests provided by kde-common/admin

See the various configure.in.in files throughout KDE.

These application specific files are typically maintained by the above people 
in combination with the application maintainer(s).

Typically, if new tests are needed they get added at the application level, if 
they are relevant to more applications in the same module they are being 
moved up to the module level and if they are needed in multiple modules it 
tends to be moved to kde-common.

Cheers,
Waldo
