I don't think Nokia needs to decide to trust KDE into their systems, it's the user 
who does that by installing KDE software he finds attractive, made available through 
repositories. This is how Linux distributions, and also Maemo works, and this "you 
can install whatever you deem right" is one very interesting aspect of the Maemo 
platform (and quite different from other mobile platforms, such as the iPhone).

If you want to make it part of the default installation, that's a different thing 
altogether, and indeed in Nokia's hands. To get there, you will have to go through 
community-support and show that your stuff is worthwhile and has users.

Those things don't happen just by itself.
