Sebas, you may have missed that I explicitely mentioned eigen in the mail you replied to ? I don't understand what's so hard about this: we can say "we consider A, B and C to be our core efforts.". That does not mean that everything which is outside that "core" must be kept out of KDE. Of course it means that software or efforts that support A, B or C, are very welcome. OTOH projects which don't support the core do not need to be part of KDE, they can as well use github or something else. I think this can only be avoided by not having some technical direction at all.
