Hi,
Today I see that the supplementary KDE release area of my chosen SuSE mirror (<ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/y ast-source/>) contains Kat 0.5.3. However, there is no mention of such a release on the Kat home page (<http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22135>)! There is a mention of a bug whose fix will be included in an upcoming 0.5.3 release.
That's not the kat homepage. That's the kde-look page for it. The home page is kat.sourceforge.net, and on http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131039 you can see that 0.5.3 is available. kde-look is an independent web site similar to freshmeat where kde relevant packages may or may not be announced. It's not a site to bet your mortgage on
I guess this means someone at SuSE is fond of Kat...
Does anyone here know how these "supplementary" releases are managed
They're not
and who (organizationally) has the responsibility for producing them?
No one has that responsibility. supplementary packages are provided as an optional extra, as and when someone feels like building. It is not a guaranteed service by any means The person building the package should be visible in the package changelog
