Speaking for myself, I'd be pretty happy to see code coming from KDE to 
live inside Qt. (I think I can speak for many developers when I say that 
porting one massive chunk of libraries to many platforms is easier than 
porting many chunks of massive libraries.)

As for specifics, I think it's a bit hard to go into details like that, 
because at the end of the day, it's going to require someone to do that 
porting effort (and keeping in mind that licensing/ownership is going to 
be an issue I guess...) and on top of that, there will need to be 
commitments made to maintain it afterwards.

If those issues can get sorted out, and the code is of a high standard, 
though, I'm all for it. The more playing in the Qt playground, the merrier.
