As I mentioned before there were plans at one point to include kdenlive. 
mlt was imported at that point due to the fact that Ubuntu dropped
official builds of it.

If the upstream mlt project uses GIT and builds as-is under tqt3, I would
suggest importing the latest upstream release as a GIT submodule to
replace the badly outdated code currently in our GIT tree.
