Hi Flossy Cat,

thanks for taking the time and writing a long response,
which I mostly have to think about. Except:

> CONCLUSION: Active support is either not wanted or needed.

KDE welcomes people, needs and wants active support!
The problem often is that if someone offers this on a specific defect is that 
(because of Moore's law) you often put more effort into the mentoring
or guidance than to fix it yourself. Especially if the defect is
a chain of technical decision and dependencies. Thus mentoring someone
makes sense if there is high chance that this person wills stay within KDE
at least for a while.

Another aspect is that getting a development setup and putting contributions 
forward is already documented in general for KDE products. So anyone could 
(in principle) do it without guidance. You could just set this up, come up 
with patches for a code variant into mobile and desktop and contribute them 
without much specific interaction. (Yes I am fully aware that this is a 
suboptimal decision process when looking at it from a greater scale.)
You could also propose a backport patch to OpenSuse LTS.

To be more specfic: What kind of help would you need to come up with 
improvements on aspects?

Getting to back on some other aspects, though it somehow gets beyond this 
issue.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
