There have been a few attempts of porting kig to Qt6

https://invent.kde.org/education/kig/-/merge_requests

But they are suffer from the "I am going to port the whole application at t=
he=20
same time".

Which makes it basically unreviewable.

The "proper" way (we did this for most of the other applications) is to por=
t=20
it by small bits.

Sadly we were not able to communicate that properly to the person that did =
the=20
effort of porting.

If you think you can reuse their porting and break it into smaller bits tha=
t=20
are self contained it would be great if you can help with that.

If you have questions on development you can join the kde development matri=
x=20
https://matrix.to/#/#kde-devel:kde.org where some things may get answered=20
faster than here, but if still you don't get an answer there post here agai=
n.
