OK... If somebody would point me to the documentation regarding what's
involved, I will certainly look it over and consider it.

Virtually all the documentation for becoming a package maintainer is located at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers

The most relevant section to you is probably:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join

which also includes links to further help on each step.

The kde-plasma-* packages at http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/ should give you a good idea of how to create a plasma applet package.

I haven't specifically spoken to anyone but I am confident someone in the KDE group can look after the sponsorship aspect.

Dont get put off by the sheer size of the instructions. Once you done it once you soon get the hang of it. There is also lots of help available on mailing lists and irc if you need it.
