You would be welcome to be.

"very much" as in?

Hard to tell. I do not know of any secrets. I did not even know about KTimer 
before becoming the module coordinator for KDE Utils recently. All I know is 
public ;)

KTimer is not registered at bugs.kde.org, should be changed of course. A 
search there yields close to no KTimer related bugs, too:
https://bugs.kde.org/simple_search.cgi?id=KTimer

So, how would you get into caring for KTimer? You would need to get yourself a 
development setup* and start by sending patches to this list. For things to 
patch you might look at EBN:
http://englishbreakfastnetwork.org/krazy2/reports/kde-4.x/kdeutils/ktimer/index.html
... to see that there are no issues, well... 

A perfect program to become maintainer, no reported bugs, no automatically 
found issues :)

So why would you like to become maintainer? What are your plans with KTimer? 
Do you have bugs or issues you would like to fix?
