There is no such think as a “KDE team”.
There are KDE contributors (of which you are part of) and more seasoned/regular ones.
Each time I see “KDE team”, I wonder where it comes from, it has been invented. Contrary to a team, there are no captain, no barrier to entry, “no side” (we only want to push forward FOSS according to our manifesto).
I guess, just like people refer to KDE as a desktop which hasn’t been true for 10+years, KDE is a community; they hallucinated this, pun intented.
KDE Community is a do-ocraty mostly, the contributors that are more active get more heft.
I can recommend this reading too:
Nice of you to have prepared this.
