The dependency solver. It's not a manual process.

We could consider having pkgdb e-mail the owner when the critpath bit for
the package gets flipped. Toshio, is that possible?

As to where it came from, the dep chain is:

kdepim
 -> akonadi
   -> qt-mysql, mysql-server

kdepim is in critical path as part of 'critical-path-apps', which is
essentially mail & web. The change that caused this to get added is that the
script prior to early December wasn't actually iterating over the proper
critpath groups, including critical-path-apps.
