Thats called extragear/devtools/kdevelop4-plugins (name and actual place
subject to change). If you have something releaseable feel free to talk to
sysadmins about creating the directory structure (or let me know and I'll
do that). In general I agree though, we had and still have a couple of
users who go through all the pain that KDevelop3/Php is because they don't
need the web-stuff as they do pure PHP stuff.

Exactly, so we can wait until its done :)

Well, there are currently 2 well-tested and working ones: Git+Subversion,
then there's CVS, which is AFAIK mostly tested, but basically unmaintained
(and the latter means its place is playground) and Mercurial/Bazaar which
are both started but need considerable amount of work before being
releaseable.
