It would have nothing to do with the KUbuntu maintainers. The Linux Mint
maintainers would need to keep it updated in their repositories, and then, would
also have to support it.
However, Nightfox mentioned that KUbuntu runs KDE 6.x, whereas the packages
available for Linux Mint is KDE 5.x, so they're either behind whatever KUbuntu
is using, or Nightfox hasn't checked what is offered in Linux Mint in awhile.

Seems like a Linux Mint problem, and I can definitely see how Linux Mint
followers/users would recommend against it, then.
I haven't used a distro that comes with a specific desktop environment in quite
some time, so I'm pretty clueless as to whether or not they support other DEs. I
choose to install a base system with Arch, and install whatever I want from
there. Hell, I never even knew about the "archinstall" script that can install
your entire system with whatever you want (including DEs, WMs, audio drivers,
anything) until about 6 months ago or so. ;)
Regards,
Nick
