My point is that that if the main driver for the inclusion is raising the awareness about a certain project and attracting new developers, given that no data support this correlation, then maybe the inclusion itself should be questioned.
While I agree that inclusion doesn't guarantee higher awareness, the inverse seems more likely to me, for maintainerless apps at least: with no maintainer to request and coordinate releases, apps not in KDE Applications don't get released, so their awareness gradually drops to zero over time. Inclusion in the KDE Applications bundle may not be a panacea, but how else are maintainerless/community-maintained apps supposed to get released?
