[Kde-imaging] [kipiplugins] How do I get review for new plugin?

[Kevin Dalley]

What should I do to get a review for a new photivo kipiplugin?

Since I am new to writing kipi plugins, I definitely want someone else 
to look at the plugin. I have been using the plugin for a couple of 
weeks, with fairly good results.
