Yeah voting isn't a good idea as there aren't many people around judging every piece of software. But the proponent should give reasons why to move it to :Community in case there is no proper release.
If you are the maintainer of the software and can call a software reasonably stable why not make a release out of it and move that into the :Community repo? That needs no discussion and is what that repository is for.
What is a proper release for you? all my applications at home:plcl:kde4 have been released and publicly announced. There are freshmeat.net and opendesktop.org pages for them. I have the intention of adding the packages to the Community repo, yes. Unless somebody provides arguments against that.
Btw. I also think we had the kde3 versions of these in opensuse, so your midi apps should actually migrate into Factory
There was a kmid package for kde3 in openSUSE, when kmid was part of kdemultimedia. Now, it belongs to extragear/multimedia. I agree with the migration into Factory, but it is beyond me. It can only be done by a small number of people with permissions in the project KDE4:Factory:Desktop. The other applications have *never* been part of openSUSE. Some of them are available in other distros, though. KMidimon is available in Debian and Ubuntu since a long time ago, when it was a KDE3 application. Also for Fedora, distributed by Planet CCRMA at home. VMPK is available in Debian/Ubuntu, and also in Mandriva Cooker. So, there may be a main mission of the KDE4:Community repository for me: providing Qt/KDE applications that can be potentially valuable for some users, and are neglected in the official openSUSE repositories. This goal requires that KDE4:Community is offered in Yast. Maybe the packages aren't well known, so there is a secondary mission: advertise those programs among the public and people that has power to push them into the official repositories.
