Hi everyone!

Adding the author of the most recent work on this integration: 
https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/-/merge_requests/202

Christoph, would you like to fix the DrKonqi integration again, now or in the 
future? If you don't have motivation or time for this, before removing it all, 
we need to consider how difficult fixing the integration will be and how often 
it is used. As the integration only broke recently, perhaps wait for bug reports 
about it against KDevelop 6.0?

Cheers,
Igor
