I don't and I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just stating a fact to give anybody=

Moreover, the py-kde in kdebindings is outdated - it's not even at 3.11.3 y=

Suffice to say you're getting this the completely wrong way. I'm glad someb=

I didn't implicate anything, I just committed the diff as you submitted it.=

read the Description field wrong though, and as a consequence didn't read P=

72153 and PR 72154, which I've reopened now(*). I'd be glad if you took=20
maintainership of the triple.

(*) I was pointed to PR 72156 by the recent list of unfetchable ports poste=

it must be frustrating to see the result of your hard work committed in a=20
seemingly careless fashion - my apologies. I'll try and get the other PRs=20
related sorted out now.
