Yes, I can maintain it. In fact many features come from components I already 
control.

Then the question still holds: with a maintainer, does it have a place in 
Plasma? I'm not talking about an hypothetical time and effort for maintaining 
this offline use case (which will continue to be 0) but in the light of the 
statement above. In other words, if the question mark in the subject is real 
or rhetorical.
I'm ready for both possible outcomes.
