Jan, first of all thanks for assuming responsibility of kio-mtp. With Philip being silent (likely because of good reasons), I think it's completely fine to keep moving it along, which means your plans to move it to kio-extras are just fine (they make sense, IMO). Once Philip surfaces again, further steps can be discussed. In general, the shared ownership model we handle in KDE is there exactly for this purpose. With a community as large as KDE, it's inevitable that once in a while, a maintainer isn't reachable for an extended amount of time, and this shared ownership makes sure that important or useful code doesn't fall by the wayside.
