Good question, and this must be ask to KDE core developpers.

You must know that we don't have any Gimp file format wrapper in digiKam
source code.

We use a plugin mechanism provided by Qt about QImage loader. KDE give the
KImgageformat framework dedicated for that and supporting Krita and Gimp
file format.

https://cgit.kde.org/kimageformats.git/tree/src/imageformats

The code in this framework is not well maintained. About Gimp support,
there are entries in bugzilla :
