You can find that in kservice[sebas/plugintrader] in KService, I've merged this patch and https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120199/diff/# (the bit that makes KPluginTrader::query use KCoreAddons' KPluginLoader::findPlugins into that branch, so I can benefit from its improvements already, in fact they seem to be needed to not have to introduce further complexity there, and keep the delta as small as possible. This indexing doesn't really work, that is I had it working, and benchmarks already looked promising, but I've been reworking some bits to use KPluginMetaData, and in that process, it broke. I'm working on it. :)

I have been using this patch locally for quite a while now and didn't spot any issues so far. If no one objects, I'll commit it next week.
