Seems like that. If you watch carefully, you'll also find tags on gitorious for maemo6 aka harmattan ( https://gitorious.org/qtcontacts-tracker/contactsd )

Maemo 6 is the OS that will ship with Nokia's upcoming N9 (or whatever it's going to be called) phone.
Meego is an Intel OS that will run on Intel-platform phones that will eventually ship around 2012.
Maemo 6 and Meego are different OS's that really have nothing in common, besides both being Linux instances.

The N9 is Harmattan based with MeeGo extension included thus being a hybrid Maemo (6?) which is MeeGo compatible.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

Everything I've read (and this is much hearsay, considering Nokia never released information about the N9) leads me to believe that Maemo6 will be a slightly repackaged Maemo5, and definitely will not be Meego-compatible.
Now, Microsoft would certainly love it if Nokia were to market Maemo6 as a "kind of Meego", since that would destroy Meego's credibility and greatly damage Linux mindshare.
But I don't think it will ever happen, not even Microsoft is that evil.

If there are going to be incompatibilities, then they will not exist just for the sake of it. And we are definitely not talking about a "slightly repackaged Maemo5".
Just keep in mind that work on Maemo6 began long before Nokia and Intel agreed to cooperate with MeeGo. Clearly you cannot expect that this cooperation means "Nokia to drop everything and use Intel's version of MeeGo instead".
It is a process.
