This is my domain really, as maintainer of kapidox - kapidox was 
intended to make this simpler and easier, but currently it's only run on 
frameworks. I don't really know much about the automation on api.kde.org 
itself, though, and we need to figure out how to choose whether to run 
kapidox, kdelibs4's apidox generation scripts, or no apidox generation 
at all for a given project.

I'm willing to put some time into this, but I'd need to be able to at 
least mirror api.kde.org's setup locally to try tweaking and testing 
things - going through Allen Winter every time I want to test something 
out (and then waiting for the cron jobs or whatever to run) is just too 
slow of a feedback cycle.
