FYI:
Qt-backport request was done nearly 1(!) year ago -> bug #1355694.

@Kornel: be warned – the mentioned PPA (contains Qt 4.8 already) did
_not_ work for me. Had to purge it from command-line with ppa-purge in
the virtual-terminal.

For my understanding this has, as many things in life, two sides.
Simultaniously to the issuing 4.13.3 a new branch of KDE-SC was split in
KDE Framework/KDEApplications (KF5.x/4.14.x)  & released.

See the stady flow here:
https://community.kde.org/KDE_SC/Binary_Packages

This actually meant a lot of additional work (triple load?) for our (if
I may say so) Kubuntu-Team. They had to split up their energy which is
harsh job taking into account a low number of developers. I personally
am _very_ grateful for all the work that's done by the volunteers.

On the other side the update was already announced:

http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.13.3  (dated 12.2.2014)

won't find it here:
https://community.kde.org/KDE_SC/Binary_Packages#KDE_SC_4.13.3

@Scarlett: Thanks for assigning on this task. 
Even though I'm getting a glimpse of understanding of all the work that's done quietly I do understand that most of us users would love to see the bugfixes arrive in an LTS. But it's also marvellous to see how fast KF5 evolves.

Sending a BIG ThankYou! -> the Kubuntu-Team & lots of hugs on the last
Friday July/2015 - it's "The Admins Appreciation Day"
