Well, you don't need to apply anywhere.
KDE development works like that:
 - You find somewhere where you want to work
 - You contact the mantainer of the program you want to work to see if someone 
is working on the same as you and if he will be willing to use your code 
(chances are no and yes)
 - You download the necessary parts from the kde svn, that means kdelibs and 
the module the program you want to work on resides. It is much better to 
download trunk than branches/3.4 because branches/3.4 can be really old in 
some cases. If you download everything from svn the merrier :-D
 - You do some coding mantaing coding style of the file (KDE has not a global 
coding style so mantain the coding style of the file you are coding in)
 - You do "svn diff > myFirstKDEPatch" and send it to the maintainer or 
apropiate mailing list
 - When you have bugged the maintainer enough, he'll suggest to apply for a 
svn account so you can do the changes without bugging him.
 - Then you ask sysadmin at kde.org for a svn account

And then the cycle continues.

P.S: If you can not contact the mantainer (because some apps don't have one) 
just ask on #kde-devel for someone to review and apply your patch
