Hello,

Well, I might not be a member of the KDevelop team, but as a user of both
Artistic Style and KDevelop, I think this would be a /beautiful/ merger!  I
currently use Artistic Style to format the code I write with KDevelop, and to
have this functionality built in would truly make KDevelop even more of a joy
to use.  I offer all encouragement and positive reinforcement in the hopes that
this becomes a feature in the near future.

I'd be happy to help in any way possible, but since I know nothing about the
code base of either project, I doubt I'd be terribly useful.  However, if there
is anything a person of such little experience can do to help, I'd be happy to
volunteer.
