I'm not sure where we would use some of the listed use-cases. Could someone help with the overall picture?

We already have KRecentDocuments which stores .desktop files in ~/.local/share/RecentDocuments. It's integrated in our file dialog as well. Though I do actually doubt the usefulness of this list.

Definitely useful. Each application currently stores this in their config file. What were you planning on adding? > Most used (high usage score) documents by $application. I'm not too sure if anyone but the $application would use this list. Perhaps it's application's decision if they want such a feature and they can probably implement it quite easily. For example - I'm not too sure about a videos applications wanting the most recently viewed videos. > Metadata for the recently/most used documents, so they can e.g. be grouped by type. * I'm not too sure what you mean.
