kig and rkward are currently orphaned (was: Re: Orphaned packages to be retired (~400 during this week))

Hi,

2 high-profile KDE packages are currently orphaned (not in immediate danger 
of retirement according to the time of orphaning, but still):

This is a current part of KDE Applications (as part of the KDE Edu project). 
Surely this should not go away.

There is the issue that it depends on Python 2, which should probably be 
taken up with upstream (though apparently OpenMandriva has it building with 
Python 3, so that might work for us too). See:

While this is not a part of the KDE Applications bundle, it is a
KDE-Frameworks-5-based application, developed and released on KDE 
infrastructure. It is also the best R IDE we currently have in Fedora.

Any takers for these two?

I'd be willing to raise my hand, fair warning I've not been a package maintainer before.

Unfortunately, nobody has claimed these packages, so they were automatically 
retired by the script.

I have requested unretirement of both:
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8911
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8912
and will be the primary maintainer. Comaintainers welcome. (Or even primary 
maintainers. I am only picking up those two packages because I have to, I 
would be happy to hand them over to somebody else if asked.)
