As far as I know Contrib is still there to stay, but I am not well
informed around this topic :-)

However my idea was purely to follow the naming convention and initially
a Contrib repo per KDE version.

Well, is this something that we really want ? As indicated I brought
Contrib up for naming conventions, but not necessary to follow the exact
structure setup. Although it would make sense if we want to provide
people with a stable setup. We could say that we have KDE4:Stable and
KDE4:Stable:Contrib which are frozen (except serious bugs, security
issues, etc). That way it would not be too much work.

In my opinion Backports and Playground should stay as they are now
(single repo setup for all KDE versions). In Playground we could have
more maintainers as that there everything would be theoretically
possible. The Contrib repo should be mainly based on SR requests, which
are accepted by the repo-wide maintainers. We could have then a few
other people maintaining specific packages (e.g. midi-related, etc).

Cheers
