look*

Note that moving them to store.kde.org is a task unrelated to how they look. We would do this because because we generally have gotten out of the habit of shipping 1st-party non-default themes, as it decreases the maintenance burden and managed expectations better. I agree with you that Plastik and Air should be moved out of their respective repos and onto store.kde.org, but for those reasons, specifically.

Note that Oxygen is separated in its own repo already, and shipped by distros in package form, so putting it on store.kde.org would be redundant.

However we need multiple bug reports for multiple things. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#One_issue_per_Bugzilla_ticket. So can you file two new bug reports:
1. on plasma-frameworks saying that Air should be moved to store.kde.org
2. on kwin saying that Plastik should be moved to store.kde.oirg

Thanks for the info! Done:

Should I open another report for Neon? Because Oxygen is still available in Neon.

No, it's fine for Oxygen to be available via  distro package, since it includes all kinds of stuff in it including a binary plugin widget theme, which currently cannot be distributed via GHNS.
