why in the name of Konqui are you asking questions about KDE 4 if you 
know it is unmaintained? Why are you wasting the time of all devs 
reading the mailing list? Especially why are you wasting my time by 
writing a mail thus that I felt obliged to answer as the maintainer?

Erm you count translations as commits? If not then trust the maintainer 
who tells you that it was in an unmaintained state prior to Plasma 5. In 
fact it was in an unmaintained state for all of KDE 4 as it was Ossi 
territory.

If you want to hack on the KDE 4 code: go for it. But you are on your 
own. The code diverged and is not related any more to the architecture 
in Plasma 5. You are on your own.
