kde-runtime does not exist anymore: it was an heterogeneous mix of stuff which 
complemented kdelibs 4.x, and basically required by any kdelibs 4.x 
application to run.

Everything that was there ended in various places (independent repositories, 
or Plasma, depending on the content).
The process was mostly the same for the frameworks branch of kdelibs and the 
frameworks branch of kde-runtime: in both cases, the content was moved (with 
history, or with grafts to the previous history) somewhere else.

You can compare the different histories:
https://cgit.kde.org/kio-extras.git/log/man
https://cgit.kde.org/kde-runtime.git/log/kioslave/man

It looks like all 6 changes that you did in 2015 (which was way after the 
split) are not in kio-extras.

Probably a direct cherry-pick is not going to work, and some commits need 
changes. For example, I would not apply blindly "Do not use KEncodingProber - 
it gives false results; Try dirname or UTF8" for two good reasons 
(KEcondingProber should be fixed, and the improvements in Qt5). Also "Adding 
.St macro from groff_mdoc package (Standards Names)" should consider that the 
gperf file is generated dynamically now.
