No need to bother maintainers, just package it up and upload it to the KDE store as a Plasma extension. Then it can appear for download in "Get New Widgets" in Plasma edit mode. Plenty of "lazy" widgets in there.
It's 1st of May here, so probably not doing it today. Looking into it a bit more when I get back from the parties. but it's basically just three files: QML for the UI, some python code to parse /proc data and a metadata file.
It's May Day, which is a labour holiday everywhere except North America commemorating the Haymarket Affair when American police brutally repressed striking workers .
In North America we have Labor Day in September to distance it from the historical associations with actual organizing and police brutality.
Absolutely this is worth packaging for KDE.
Although I imagine if you don't have the motivation to make it in the first place, you likely don't have the motivation to package it.
I've got Opus crunching on it now, will update when I have it finished and published
Edit:

Running on my Fedora KDE machine right now. Also includes a CLI so you could wrap your own widget
I still need to figure out publishing, doing this in between work meetings.
This is so cool that we can port useful stuff like this in minutes, thanks for sharing!
I packaged it for Arch Linux AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatcable-linux
I do not use KDE and wanted just command-line version of it without any Qt dependencies, so I've burned some tokens and produced just that:

Interesting. GPT-5.5 implementation was simpler with Python and a QML code.

I am happy to package it and port it for Gtk/GNOME today.
If you end up doing that, please post it here. I'd be a very happy user of that extension
Also happy to test it out on Gnome

I feel like this is so lazy bothering maintainers for it is not great.

Making something has a well-defined end. Packaging something for distribution is an easy way to walk yourself into a long-term commitment.

It's huge in Berlin. First sunny and warm day this year and techno parties everywhere.
May Day - like labour day in Canada/USA... but on the first of May
