This seems a feature requested a lot, so looking forward to you tackling 
this. Sadly currently almost all KDevelop contributors are short on time, 
myself concentrating on getting at least a release done.

I would assume though the Kate developers would find a system for handlers 
before/after action foo (like Saving) interesting as well.
So I would propose you approach them as well, even more as this might need 
extensions to the KTextEditor interfaces, where they are the maintainers. And 
once implemented/designed, KDevelop could then follow Kate, as both are 
similar in being wrappers to KTextEditor.

Cheers
