Thanks for the offer, Heiko. "Works for me" when it comes to trying to avoid
release work :P so would happily pick up that.
>From a pragmatic world approach I would still think that... anyway, main
motive is to get the Qt6 ports of both out next and have releases
"automated"/"schedule-forced" as ensured perspective :) Even more with the bad
fonts finally fixed while at it, which annoyed me for years.
So in case the last-minute door to 24.05 will not open here after any more
discussion, would then approach you about further steps directly, thanks
again.
Guess I would get serious here around end of April, for some rough planning
from my side. New version numbers had already been set in the code (and also
registered at bugs.kde.org), just letting current code changes sink in a bit
(and be processed by the good bloody-edge consumers) before moving on :)
Cheers
Friedrich
