I remember about "Month view does not show hebrew calendar", I think it is a
general problem for CalendarDecoration plug-ins as they were not ported to
the new month view, but porting should be quite easy, as CalendarDecoration
is quite flexible to implement and the new month view is cleaner code than
before. I do not know much about the others, sorry.

AFAIK, there is no maintainer. Some names appears in the headers though, you
may try sending a mail or two.
I worked a little on it to make it a CalendarDecoration, but do not have the
time and resources to do KDE development right now, so I'm only following
the Dot and a few mailing lists but I may provide outdated info.
If you need info on CalendarDecoration and/or the Jewish calendar plug-in,
you may try to ask me though -- I just cannot guarantee you a perfect
answer.

I think the Jewish calendar plug-in is one of the most simple in its
CalendarDecoration part. The rest is, if I remember correctly, C code ported
as-is.
As for guides/documentation, well, apart from the apidocs, I'm not aware of
anything else (but more experienced PIMsters may correct me).

Best,
