Have you filed or is there a bug filed about this in bugs.kde.org? I don't
believe that this is a setting we can change in our packaging, although I
could be wrong.

I use the redshift applet but am looking forward to getting rid of it when
nightlight arrives and my nvidia card works with Wayland. That said, is
that github project planning to become part of KDE? What makes you say that
this should be part of the default install? We normally only ship KDE
software.

Hmmmm. Do you know if this is possible? It would certainly help
accessibility and those who want to run Kubuntu on a tablet or convertable
laptop.

It works well for me. Again, have you filed a bug report about this? Some
of us are KDE devels along with working on Kubuntu, but in general, Kubuntu
devels can fix packaging, not bugs upstream.

Can you provide a screenshot or something? Not quite sure to what you refer.

Xterm is not in the
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/bionic-desktop-amd64.manifest
file that I can see? We are discussing dropping Kmail for all but the LTS
releases, but this has not yet been decided.

We would welcome your help in accomplishing some of your goals. Please drop
by our IRC devel channel  #kubuntu-devel or use Matrix to access it; and
one of us can invite to the the bridged Telegram channel if you prefer.
