That's great news! I just saw the Debian Import deadline for next Ubuntu
is 19th of February. Since it is a long story with KDE, I don't know if
that can happen, as Debian Jessie is probably further away than that, but
it would be nice to get it into Experimental, at least.

It looks to me to be a rather long story, therefore, I haven't bothered to
try. There's a wiki page about the process to become a Debian Maintainer
here:
