You might want to consider applying to be a member of the Software
Freedom Conservancy (SFC). They handle the paperwork for you:
https://sfconservancy.org/about/
https://sfconservancy.org/projects/services/
This is not unprecedented for KDE projects; in 2009, the Amarok project
joined the SFC (but it seems that they are no longer a member):
