Yes, I did this and it was already released in KDevelop 3.3. Do you really 
want to remove something that is in the previous version?

I was not aware about the bug yet. Grabbing the focus is also not nice, so I 
can try to fix these two bugs.

I am also not happy with the name "project view" and I had the idea to change 
it to session. Similar to what Kate uses. We could move the menu entry out of 
the project menu to either View or Window?

Yes, I would mind. Partly because I still believe it is a usefull function and 
partly because I do not understand that this kind of criticism comes just 
before the release. 

So I would prefere to fix it but if many other people don't like it as well I 
agree that you can remove it. 

BTW. the bugreport proves that at least on person used it :-)
