We're always welcoming new contributors to the KDEPIM project. Anyone is in 
principal encouraged to contribute (given that he wants too). There are no 
qualifications required. Depending on your experience with C++ and Qt/KDE 
programming you'll get comments from the relevant developers to patches that 
you post either here or (preferably) on http://reviewboard.kde.org.

If we're interested in your specific extensions? That of course fully 
depends on what these extensions are. So you'd better explain them first 
before asking confirmation.

Who should pay? Note, KDEPIM is like the rest of KDE an open source project. 
Contributions are *in principal* made by volunteers. Some of us happen to 
work for companies that work (partly) on KDE(PIM) and therefore get paid to 
do the work.

So it doesn't work like this, that you come here to this list and ask for 
money to implement some unspecified features. We'd of course be happy to get 
you started (development wise) and maybe people are interested in such a way 
in the proposed features that they actually want to pay for it. But you 
shouldn't count on that.

I hope I gave you some useful pointers.

Cheers,

Bertjan
