Hi Paulo, good to hear from you. To be clear, Riddell has not left; he
has just left his position as release manager. Philip (yofel) and
Scarlett (sgclark) have taken on that job.

More help is always good! See our Trello:

Yes, we are very short of packagers right now. For instance, Plasma
5.5 has been released:

https://dot.kde.org/2015/12/08/plasma-55-beautiful-new-artwork

and right now we have nobody with time to package it up. It needs to
be packaged for Xenial first, then backported to 15.10.

Drop into #kubuntu-devel for more information.

All the best,

Valorie
