The KDE SIG has their own list at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde

They also have an IRC channel, #fedora-kde.
However, I think if they had the manpower to split the packages up,
they'd have done that, so the best way to get the packages split up
would probably be to offer your help on that. :)
