@ Qt/KDE maintainers: slightly random chosen reassignment

Hi Malvin,

Thanks for your report. Unfortunately it fell through the cracks for
some time. I have reassigned you bug report to one of the packages you
reported you reinstalled, I hope the Qt/KDE maintainers are better able
to triage than I am.
