[kdenlive] Kdenlive on Twitter

[jb]

Hi Sam,

Sorry for the delay. Yes I also think it's a good idea to re-activate it 
if we manage to keep it alive.

1) I made a quick search of the mailing list archive, and it looks like 
nobody knows who created the https://twitter.com/kdenlive account. Back 
in 2011 we were already wondering... I don't know if there is any way to 
contact the author or to request the access...

2) I would go for an official account, you are an active member of the 
community!  It's just important that several people have access to the 
account so that we can ensure that we always have access to it...

Regards

jb
