We'll make sure it happens.  I'm sure Lamarque is pretty busy, so any
help appreciated.  Most of the work would happen in kde-workspace to
create a new Solid control for MM 0.8 in solid/, and could be based off
the old work but using the new dbus interface.  Happy to help out with
whats changed and any questions on the new D-Bus interfaces.
