The tiny team can't answer these requests on spare time (or it takes
years). No one is ready to abandon their job, finding a good person to
hire seems not easy, maybe contracting a consultant would be a
solution... But then how to gather the funds? As KDE eV can't allocate
money to a specific project (if I understand correctly), we would need
to create a new structure: none of us is interested in this kind of
paperworks and risks associated (having read about Krita Fundations
difficulties few years back)...
You might want to consider applying to be a member of the Software
Freedom Conservancy (SFC). They handle the paperwork for you:

This is not unprecedented for KDE projects; in 2009, the Amarok project
joined the SFC (but it seems that they are no longer a member):
