I agree here.

What KDE-Builder at least needs is
 - all code changes being actually reviewed.
 - no constant breaking changes that require involvements.
 - multiple co-maintainers, some with years of KDE baggage.
 - co-maintainers that has interest in mitigating supplychain attacks.


I'm immensely worried about KDE-Builder for various reasons, but the
above would at least mitigate some of it.

It is not that many days the main contributor to KDE-Builder asked why
we weren't building qt5 with cmake, and they have been hacking on things
for a year.
