If you check the generic instruction, you basically need to clone two repositories and point the PATH to one of them.

Those who prefer the pure command line, full-fledged PHP on a workstation and vim would never use KDE. I'm not sure about this statement and I'm not sure about the implication. There is nothing about vim here. You mentioned `git diff`, which is a command line tool. If I need to talk about stereotypes, hardcore vim+pure command line user are said to be allergic to PHP, so that category of people that you mentioned should not really exist. And non-hardcore vim and command line users, which seems to be the category you think may contribute to KDE stuff, do not probably care about another interpreter installed locally. At least, this was not a problem when people asked on IRC about how to send patches. If the problem is the PHP dependency we can team up with other phabricator user and make git-phab (in python) working again, but no one seemed to find this an high priority. Anyway, we are going off topic, but I invite you to reconsider how much this is a real problem.
