 There are some companies around that have done contracted work on KDE in the 
 past.

Since you are willing to sponsor this work, two places you might look
for experienced kdelibs developers are KO GmbH ( http://www.kogmbh.com )
and KDAB ( http://www.kdab.com ).

Please understand that I am not vouching for them -- I have no personal
experience working with either of these companies. I only suggest them
as I know that there are large pools of KDE expertise at both companies.

 The problem - to me - seems to be that showstopper bugs aren't stopping  
 the KDE show to gain the necessary attention

Several related issues, based on my own experience and perceptions as 
mostly a lurker on the release team:

1.  KDE currently has a time-based schedule
2.  This isn't a bug, but a missing feature
2a. We have no documented or objective criteria to identify showstopper 
bugs (or features, for that matter)
3.  We have no obvious/documented process for dealing with conflicts 
between 1 and 2.

Now, I'd welcome discussions and input on how best to deal with these 
(in the 4.5 timeframe).  I'll even offer some suggestions of my own, 
after pondering it a bit.

p.s.  I'd love to be shown wrong about any of the above assertions about 
things not being obvious or documented.
