Hi, I'm upstream.

Kvirc doesn't actually require enchant:0, it just works with either 
enchant:0 or enchant:2. In fact, if enchant:2 is installed, it already 
uses it, despite the dependency. The ebuild should probably patch out 
the fallback to enchant:0 and just depend on enchant:2.

Python 3.11 also works, but the ebuild is outdated.

Re SSL cert, it's a valid concern. I'll try to figure out what happened 
there.

Re snapshot from 2021, perhaps it's time to release a new version. We 
have latest commit in 2022, can at least update the ebuild to use that one.

I'll take maintainership and update the ebuild, temporarily moving 
homepage to http:// and fixing the issues above.
