On the other hand, user may want to know whether lyrics have been previously edited by her. Additionally, some file formats allow storing lyrics in tags, it would be nice if Amarok supported it. (then it would make sense to show her what is the source of lyrics being shown)

Well, this is a valid TODO, but what you're implemented doesn't resolve it. The wanted feedback was we tried but failed to download lyrics, not to distinguish between cached and just-downloaded ones.

Well, that may require a fair amount of new infrastructure and is not really suited for newcomers, but no-one will obviously prevent you from trying.
