i'm glad this comes up :-)

i don't know so much about the infrastructure of KDE, but having seen how 
smooth it is to host stuff on github, it sure is time to think about a 
migration, carefully.

how about something along these lines:

 - we make RKWard 0.7.x the first KDE FW5 release branch
   - it starts with a new git repo, no matter where

 - RKWard 0.6.x remains as the KDE 4 branch, at least as long as 4.14 is
   commonly used; it will however only get bug fixes, development focusses 
   on 0.7.x
   - it stays on sf.net SVN
   - later on, it can be moved to git as well, which shouldn't be so painful 
     because there's no urgency

as a side node: github has wikis for its projects, and kind-of offers 
downloadable binary files: https://github.com/blog/1547-release-your-software
but it's probably easier to host bundles somewhere else.
