Here's what a quick browse turned up here, assuming you hadn't found it 
yet:

https://kate-editor.org

... Seems to have a kate developer blog, and (under more, get help) 
mentions a kwrite-devel list. (Yes the list name says devel but the page 
says for users too.  FWIW kwrite is the somewhat simpler single-document-
interface version of the multi-document-interface kate -- they share 
plugins/tools/etc and at least with the older versions I used in the past 
(I prefer the script-and-macro-extensible TUI-based mc/midnight-commander/
mcedit, these days) work similarly when working on a single document, but 
kwrite's GUI is simpler because it doesn't have the options to manage 
multiple documents at the same time.)

There's also the #kate IRC channel if you're into such. (I'm not!)

(FWIW my discovery path was...
kde.org > top-menu develop button > 
develop.kde.org > top KDE developer platform section > 
Develop (tools and libraries) >
developer.kde.org/develop/ > Kate button >
kate-editor.org )
