There's actually already a KDE nonogram game, called KPicross. It's
been around since 2007, but never made it out of playground. It
recently moved to Git.

You might want to talk to JPWhiting, the KPicross author, about the
possibility joining forces.

In addition to what Ian and Stefan said, if you'd like your game to
become part of KDE you'll also have to move to using KDE technologies.
It seems that your game is currently Qt only, so porting to use the
enhanced classes in kdelibs and libkdegames would need to be done
where appropriate.

Best of luck,
