Absolutely this is worth packaging for KDE. Although I imagine if you don't have the motivation to make it in the first place, you likely don't have the motivation to package it.

I feel like this is so lazy bothering maintainers for it is not great.

  No need to bother maintainers, just package it up and upload it to the KDE store as a Plasma extension. Then it can appear for download in "Get New Widgets" in Plasma edit mode. Plenty of "lazy" widgets in there.

I am happy to package it and port it for Gtk/GNOME today.

  If you end up doing that, please post it here. I'd be a very happy user of that extension

I've got Opus crunching on it now, will update when I have it finished and published Edit: https://github.com/Zetaphor/whatcable-linux https://github.com/Zetaphor/whatcable-linux Running on my Fedora KDE machine right now. Also includes a CLI so you could wrap your own widget I still need to figure out publishing, doing this in between work meetings.

  I do not use KDE and wanted just command-line version of it without any Qt dependencies, so I've burned some tokens and produced just that: https://github.com/vzaliva/whatcable-linux-cli https://github.com/vzaliva/whatcable-linux-cli

        Yes, as long as there are humans reviewing and quality-gating the outputs at every stage. Otherwise, it's just a very long exoprosthetic digestive tract.

Admiral Ackbar has entered the chat. Making something has a well-defined end. Packaging something for distribution is an easy way to walk yourself into a long-term commitment.
