Preferably with a "Harvard comma" before the "and".

The Debian version of LXQt appears to be "13". How does that relate
to the "LXQt 0.11" released last September?

Meanwhile, does LXDE not use numbered releases? The versioning on the
metapackages just calls it "9", whereas wiki.lxde.org says the latest
version is "0.99.2".

Also, isn't "KDE" officially the name of the development project
rather than the desktop environment (which is "Plasma")?

And finally, what sort of ordering is this? Is there any reason not
to list them alphabetically?

So maybe it should be something like:

GNOME 3.22, KDE Plasma 5.8, LXDE, LXQt, MATE 1.16, and Xfce 4.12.

LXQt is just a meta package, not a upstream package, so its version does
not related to upstream. Most of the lxqt-* packages now are upstream
version 0.11.1 [0].

But I think unversion is also okay to avoid confusion.

I am not familiar with KDE, but someone else mentioned this problem in
debian-release list [1], so I guess "KDE Plasma 5.8" is preferable.
