In my humble opinion... I think Kubuntu should move to the KDE 
infrastructure. It would certainly make things easier from a contributor 
standpoint. I am already well versed in the KDE environment and could 
easily continue my KDE efforts in addition to helping out Kubuntu. The 
other option of moving stuff back and forth sounds like an upkeep 
nightmare...
