I'm pretty overcommitted right now, but I want to facilitate
collaboration and sharing between projects.

Maybe the klipart site could be redirected to Open Clip Art Library. I'm
all about consolidating information. :)

I would like to work on some qt-based code though sometime in the
future, but not right now.

Yes, I would also like to see Karbon support creativecommons.org
metadata like Inkscape does. This shouldn't be too difficult at all.

Any developers interested in hacking?

Also, we now have a gtk based clipart browser project that is in
Inkscape's CVS. Maybe some of this code could be adapted for a KDE
component? In the interim, it can be run alongside other KOffice apps
and hopefully drag and drop works as well as it does for GTK+ based
apps.
