All new feature development will have to be done against Plasma 5.x (in kdeplasma-addons, that would be the "frameworks" branch). I don't know about the porting status of the binary clock, but it'll need some adjustments in order to make it work, porting the UI to QML, for example. Best would be to port your patch to the Plasma 5.x version, and given the resulting code's quality is OK, I'd be quite fine with merging that.

In terms of branches, the frameworks branch is simply "master".
Plasma/5.2 is for stable releases over the next 3 months of Plasma5.2

If you have any QML questions, shout on #plasma on IRC.

Will be awesome to have someone take up porting it.
