There is a https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#kde-windows:kde.org matrix
channel.
Most of the software use Craft (https://community.kde.org/Craft) to build
the Windows version.
I'm not sure if there is a documentation for the steps to actually publish
one on the store.
I don't know for all, but for GCompris, we compile it aside and handle the
publication on our side.

There is this meta task: https://phabricator.kde.org/T9575 and their
subtasks
