[Bug 71369] Re: Reinvented wheels all over the place

[Andrew Ash]

Thanks for your report. Your idea of merging power management and laptop
buttons daemons might get more attention and have a better possibility
of being implemented if you would submit a specification for this.
Specifications are the way Ubuntu develops new features.

I agree with you that duplicating work, between Ubuntu and Kubuntu
particularly, is wasted effort.  A consistent backend that Gnome and KDE
can both access for laptop buttons and power management would be great.
Fixes created for laptops in one DM would work on the other, etc.

You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If that is the case, feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec following the steps described in
        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications.

If you do create a spec, please link to it here.  Thanks.
