Sure, that subdomain and similar ones are not going to be touched here, and 
can (and should) be used to send people to for a real maintained homepage.

Only extragear.kde.org is going to be put to rest finally here.

There is a "homepage" entry possible in the JSON description for that purpose. 
E.g. used for Marble (who also have their marble.kde.org subdomain):
https://www.kde.org/applications/education/marble

KStar's entry could and should be updated then.

Those pages below kde.org/applications can be considered something like a 
catalog of all apps developed in the kde.org community, providing the most 
important info on a quick look, with a consistent layout for quick access.
(Agreed that they surely can be improved a little here and there, but that is 
a different issue, to be tackled as an independent step).

Cheers
