You may know nothing about Qt/KDE, but you probably don't need to know 
all that much to maintain a split-off version of your old codebase. 
Conversely, the KDE team may know a lot about KDE, but, while I can't 
speak for everyone on the team, I certainly know nothing about dbus, 
and that's a real problem when starting to maintain something new.

Thus I think it would make more sense for you to maintain the Qt3 
bindings, with a promise of plenty of testing and help-whenever-needed 
from us. If the new Qt3 bindings are basically just the old ones split 
out, then it shouldn't be hard or require much work. And once KDE 4.0 
is out, then the old bindings will go away anyway.

How will the Qt4 bindings be handled, BTW?

Cheers,
Christopher Martin
