Nice to hear :-)
It's interesting that at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_software_engineering
umbrello is mentioned as an example.

It would be nice to have some more details, so you may take some time to
inspect the wish list at https://umbrello.kde.org/developers.php to sync
your ideas. You may open new features requests or add your ideas to
already present feature requests.

For some umbrello related developer hints see "developer resources" at
https://umbrello.kde.org

At https://umbrello.kde.org/developers.php you will find a list of open
bugs including junior bugs.
