Thank you for the kind words! :-)

Hartmut did work on KDE Plasma in the past. You may find some of his
packages here:
<https://gitlab.digitalcourage.de/htgoebel/guix/blob/kde-plasma/gnu/packages/kde-plasma.scm>.
I don't think anyone else have attempted it, so your help is very
welcome!
You may find the KDE updater useful before you begin packaging new
applications:
./pre-inst-env guix refresh -t kde -u
...that command will update the package versions and hashes in your
local repository with the latest ones found on the KDE mirrors. It
requires a local Guix checkout as described in the manual under
"Building from git". Feel free to send patches as you go along.
Hope this helps, and welcome to Guix!
