My guess is what you are describing plus updating things in repo-metadata, i 
can think of

dependencies/logical-module-structure
  to update the branch info (i.e. kf5-qt5 won't be master anymore, i guess 
point it to the latest stable branch)

dependencies/dependency-data-kf6-qt6
  to update the dependency info 
  But this is autogenerated by Nico scripts nowadays so... maybe not? or prod 
him to run the script?

projects/*/*/i18n.json
  to update the i18n branch information

Anything else I am missing?

Cheers,
  Albert
