Kai Uwe:
* Wrote a new model backing Milou/KRunner which avoids resetting the
entire list every time results change

hardly change (e.g. calculator)
    * Keeps the selection steady as results come in delayed and shift
the results around
* Fixed a few issues in qqc2-desktop-style, `ComboBox` closes when
clicking on itself, just like in Qt Widgets
* Merged my huge backlog of plasma-browser-integration stuff
* Attended KDE Connect sprint in Nürnberg at SUSE

machine-readable metadata of websites for Itinerary, e.g. schema.org
annotations, json-ld
        * https://cgit.kde.org/scratch/broulik/itinerary-research.git/
