Sorry, I wasn't clear.
I'm talking about the policies dealing with a public API. i.e, dpointers, inline
methods, apidox, .. stuff like that.  I didn't mean coding style.   The licensing
must be LGPL, BSD, or X11 (same as kdelibs).

And i still think kdedevlibs would be a more appropriate module name.
Or maybe kdesdklibs.

Release management of this new module should be put under the KDE umbrella.
Else, why did you post this request to the release-team ML?
