Move Calligra to release service

[Carl Schwan]

Sorry I missed this email.

Calligra kind of works already. Sure it doesn't support every odf feature but all the basic features are fully usable. Most of my recent work in Calligra has been on Qt6 port, some code modernization and redesigning the UI.

Calligra does need more contributors but without regular release, I don't see this happening. I am hoping that the redesigned UI will also help.

Also releasing it in Gear, doesn't mean that we should recommend distro to ship it per default, or at least not yet ;)

Cheers,
Carl
