Plasma desktop's "Software Updates Available" notification

SUMMARY
I get a nice notification that "Software Updates Available \ You have 50 new updates" from Plasma Desktop Workspace. But clicking on it does nothing. Why doesn't it pop open the Software Updates panel that appears when I click the blue up-arrow icon (↑) in the system tray area?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Fedora 32 KDE spin. I think it defaults to X11.
2. Wait a few days.
3. When Plasma notifies you that Software Updates Available (see attached image), click everywhere on the notification.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should open the blue Software Updates panel from the system tray directly underneath (see attached image).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2 (X11)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This sounds like Bug 401985 - "Updates" notification doesn't open Discover if minimized" and similar Bug 416875. But the full Discover application (/usr/bin/plasma-discover) seems to be a different thing than this system tray panel. If I click on it like crazy `htop` shows a plasmashell process eating up CPU. If all I'm doing is updating packages I don't need to run the Discover application, this small blue panel with its [Install Updates] button is fine.

(Should there be a plasmashell component in this bugzilla for the Software Updates panel?)

This is all done in plasma-pk-updates; moving there.

I'm afraid this widget is unmaintained and has not been ported to Qt 6, meaning it's no longer released; closing all of its bug reports.
