Krita used to have such a plugin in the 1.x, early 2.x days. We removed it 
before Krita 2.4 because it didn't fit our vision, was hard to maintain 
and we felt that Hugin did a better job anyway.

If we get enough matte painters as users, it might return. Matte painting 
is one of our target use cases, and for that, stitching is very important.
