This has already happened, in at least one regard: kdesrc-build, which used to be in kdesdk/scripts, but is now separated out to extragear/utils on git.kde.org. In fairness I always kind of treated it like an Extragear module (it probably should have been there the whole time, but I had imported the script into the same directory as the existing kde-build script). > Is there anything that makes this proposal a bad idea?

On the other hand I'd be more interested in knowing whether the KDE SDK module maintainer would support moving applications piecemeal like this -- presumably the rest of kdesdk (besides /scripts) makes a more coherent package than kdesrc-build did with kdesdk.
