Having a system to do this isn't a bad idea, but its not something
that needs to be solved now.

Well in no way is this going to happen. KDE is nothing like Linux.

Anyways I consider this to be pretty much off-topic, since frankly
this is a discussion to have on amarok-devel at kde.org and there's
frankly no way the answer would be anything but no. There's actually
concern in the opposite direction, that even a central git repo system
is still too de-centralized.
