Sorry, that must been entirely missed that.
Fine, an example json file looks like this (Amarok as an example here):

{
    "name": "Amarok",
    "parent": "extragear/multimedia",
    "repository": ["git", "amarok"],
    "icon": ["git", ""],

    "description":
        "<p><b>Amarok</b> is a free, versatile and powerful music player.</p>",

    "features":
    [
        "Dynamic playlists matching different criteria",
        "Collection managing with rating support",
        "Support for basic iPod, MTP and UMS music player devices",
        "Integrated Internet services: last.fm, Magnatune, Jamendo,
Ampache, mp3tunes and more.",
        "Scripting support",
        "Cover manager",
        "Replay gain support",
        "(more at http://amarok.kde.org/en/features)"
    ],
    "homepage": "http://amarok.kde.org",
    "kde-apps.org": 9939,

    "userbase": "Amarok",
    "forum": 127,
    "handbook":
"http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-multimedia/amarok/index.html",

    "irc": ["#amarok", "#amarok.de"],
    "mailing lists": ["amarok at kde.org", "amarok-devel at kde.org"],

    "cia.vc": "kde/amarok",
    "bugs": "amarok"
}

not all values need to filled out though. And for uploading the svn
part of our mainsite you'll need special priviledges, but you can send
your file here and we will of course upload for you.
Additionally you should provide an app screenshot, one as big as you
want ;) and preferably a thumbnail in a size of around 540px wide. As
side note, the default KDE color scheme is preferred, to have a common
look around all app pages.
I think that would be all to make us available to push Kdenlive to the
app pages.

Best,
Ingo
