We actually had a very similar plan for frameworks - we were going to make
a new repo and move all the kioslaves in it. We didn't think so much about
the music/people ones. We were just concentrating on the
kde-runtime/kioslaves.

In 4.9, we then really required the nepomuk-core repo, but we decided to
not split up kde-runtime/nepomuk more, as it wasn't required.

I like the idea, I'm just not sure if we should -

1. Release it as a separate package via extragear
2. Move the kioslaves in kde-runtime/nepomuk/kioslaves
3. Move the kde-runtime/nepomuk/kioslaves in the new repo, and release it
with kde sc.

Any opinions?
