Well, personally I would be kind of interested in seeing better iceweasel
integration with KDE Platform. However:
1) as far as I can tell from #608171, some patch is needed for iceweasel.
Unfortunately, iceweasel maintainers do not seem very fond of it. Personally,
I'm not willing to invest my time into developing a better patch/solution for
iceweasel.
2) ITP is already owned by P. J. McDermott. So unless this is a request for
sponsorship or take over, I don't see how anybody from KDE maintainers can
help here.
