I think you missunderstood how the KDevelop platform works. Here it is 
not "KDevelop" who asks the plugins what do they support and add menus 
based on them, but the plugins are the ones who fill up the menus! And 
this is one of the reasons why there shouldn't be everything in the 
interface. If your vcs plugin has an entry called "Cool" and no other 
vcs plugin supports this "cool" action, the plugin could still provide 
it in the context menu.
