If you take "the power" to mean "the power to make the developer do whatever
you want", then of course, you don't have the power. If you take it to mean
"the power to get involved and help improve things", we're nearer the
truth.

Well, in this particular instance, only those with Net access can get new
themes, so that's moot.

But perhaps I should have been more clear that the two solutions I suggested
in my original post are orthogonal: one is a way to solve the problem
(acknowledged by the developer) for the next version of KDE, whereas the
other is a workaround to mitigate the problem until then.
