As I said - patches are mostly ready, only polishing is needed. What I don't like is that it is our fork of polkit-qt. I think we should discuss it at KDE SIG meeting, how to do it carefully. You can join us. It's Freedesktop.org hosted, so it should match releases of major desktop environments, not one distribution. Upstream is not using Fedora, they can't get it running (I'm not blaming anyone), so it looks I'm now upstream ;-) I know why are you pushing on this and I don't have objections.
