I looked in the archives and this seems to last have been the case for KDevelop 3.3.x, released in 2006-ish, or maybe a bit later.
This was > 15 years ago, completely different people working on a quite different code base (the core C++ language support plugin was basically completely rewritten *twice* since then!). So I'm not sure it makes sense to be afraid of a potential ping-pong situation between being part of KDE SC and not being part of it.
Compared to 4.0 times, the project is now very mature and instead of fast-paced feature development by a small core team, KDevelop's progress is nowadays more a continuous stream of small fixes contributed by a big crowd. So while releases used to be driven by the motivation of a few to get new features out when they are done and then quickly follow-up with stabilization releases, that is no longer the case.
All the best, Sven
