In short, master is frozen because we are not going to release kdelibs
4.8 or 4.9 (or any later 4.x version). There will only be bugfix 4.7.x
releases. The rest of the kde-sc 4.x series will continue to be
released, based on kdelibs 4.7. This will continue until kde
frameworks 5 are ready.

I don't see though why this affects the kde-windows project. You can
still continue doing what you were doing before, you just need to
switch to using kdelibs from the 4.7 branch rather than master and
commit fixes to the 4.7 branch (only fixes though, not new features).
