So, grepping things and nailing plan and date hereby :)

EVERYONE: if you have something which you would like to see still make it 
into 5.3.3, please move it to top of your this week's TODO list, ideally for 
before Thursday.

I plan to do tagging & tarballing during CEST Friday afternoon/evening.

(And for 5.4.0 I would then target for July 26th or August 2nd)

Okay, seems we agree. So no release blocker then. Would add respective notes 
to announcement, inviting once more people to join to help here.

I meanwhile also updated kdevelop.org/download to no longer refer to Kevin's 
out-of-service server.

Some time ago I had played successfully with creating KDevelop AppImage 
builds locally, I will see later this week to repeat that so we could at 
least provide one again for the very release. If anyone wants to take over or 
better, get things integrated with KDE binaryfactory, happy to pass on :)

Cheers
Friedrich
