As far as I can tell, there's nothing to be done source-wise: The code
is in a KDE extragear repository and it's integrated with ebn, l10n
etc. The mailing lists and the release tarballs are easily relocated
once the future direction is clear ...

Why not? There is a separation between dvb / ui / playback / ... in
the Kaffeine sources, so it should be doable. But such a merge is
still nontrivial and will need adaptations on both sides (time
shifting and configuration stuff comes to my mind). And of course you
should have the equipment to test the code ... Just to be clear what
we are talking about: for example a satellite dish + something like
