Phonon is in kdesupport, so it's not technically part of KDE.

In any case, my proposal would be that the two repositories share more or 
less the same things. Both master repositories refer to almost the same 
Phonon (minus a few commits here and there that still need to be merged).

But the important difference would not be the master branches, it would be 
the stable ones. The KDE repository of Phonon would have the branches that 
are released with KDE (4.0, 4.2 and 4.3 today), whereas the QtSW one would 
contain the branches that Qt releases with (4.1 and 4.4 in a month).

However, if we introduce Continuous Integration for Phonon in Qt, then we 
can't just merge commits from the KDE repo: those commits have to pass 
regression testing before being allowed in.
