Hello.
First of all, this is a very good proposal!
I've got a few observations/questions, you can incorporate the answers
in your proposal document.

* In our existing code it's called QueryMaker, not QueryManager.
* Is there a way to handle what in TagLib is extended metadata, such
as composer, disc number or albumartist? I think this is important.
* This is not required, but it would be cool if you could research a
bit how much of this work could also apply to an apparently
Nepomuk-compatible data store such as Tracker as well.
* Finally, a commit is a committment. Do you plan to keep working on
this project even after GSoC ends?

Cheers,
