Any chance the official name can be "KQuickCharts"? "Quick Charts" is a 
generic name which only asks for being misunderstood, is hard to google etc..

If there is only one user currently, might it perhaps be a better idea to do 
some independent releases for a while to get more feedback on the API, before 
settling to the API freeze by being part of KDE Frameworks? It will be at 
least a year until KF6 is there to properly fix up any potential API 
inconveniences which users might find.
I would at least recommend to first get some API shaping by real-world 
exposure.

Sorry otherwise for not reviewing myself, not into QML the recent months.

Cheers
