I don't think that's an issue. kde.org is moving towards higher
diversity (and that was part of the reason, why we went there, too),
and there are quite a few repos on git.kde.org today that are no
"KDE/Qt" software in themselves. For rkwarddev, I think the case is
relatively clear: IMO, it's clearly tied to RKWard, and should be on the
same primary infrastructure, also in terms of mailing list, bug
tracking, documentation, etc. It's more than a mere add-on. (In fact,
rkwarddev development is not so very independent from RKWard
development, also in terms of releases and such. Which is a - weak -
point for keeping it inside the main repo itself.)

For XiMpLe, there may be a case for splitting it out further. It does
not necessarily share the same target audience both in terms of users
and developers. Still I would not expect a problem on the end of
KDE, wrt hosting this on git.kde.org.
