Well this is over a month too late, but I have a enhancement change for kcookiejar that needs to go into kdelibs/kioslave for KDE 4.8. The patch has actually been pending for a merge since KDE 4.6. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54300. Unfortunately, I do not know how to proceed with committing the kdelibs portion of the patch without actually polluting the kdelibs 4.7.4 version. Waiting for the final December release of the final KDE 4.7.4 is one approach, but then the commit would be too late for the feature freeze. We either need to exempt kdelibs from the upcoming feature freeze or I need an exemption to commit these changes past the freeze times currently established for KDE 4.8
