Would you be available to mentor someone if we could find someone to work on 
patches?

Why wouldn't you want to put it in Kubuntu?

I never intended for Kubuntu-specific features.

Yes, they would be general improvements to the app in general, not specific to 
Kubuntu.  I'm interested in shaping it up so that any distro which uses KDE 
can use it.  There has been some interest in it upstream in KDE. I just happen 
to work on Kubuntu.

That is good to know, thanks for the info!
