Hey Michael, when you contact him, suggest he might think of coming
into the KDE community with his music application. KDE has a process
called "incubation" where new projects can move in, described here:
https://community.kde.org/Incubator

The most recent project of which I'm aware is Falkon, which was known
as Qupzilla before it joined KDE.

All the best,

Valorie
