All of what Denis wrote is great input! Another small addendum from my side: I 
didn't get a PhD, and studied physics, not computer science. But from what I 
heard of friends the question of your mentors / professors interest at the 
university sadly also plays a very large role. I.e. at least in my university 
you did not have the liberty to come up with a topic completely on your own. 
You had to fiend mentors/professors and then come up with a topic related to 
what those people and their study groups are working on.

Meaning: While I applaud your enthusiasm for working on KDevelop, it sadly 
sounds very hard for me to come up with an idea suitable for a PhD.

That said, from what I recall there were at least two studies done on KDevelop 
back then, none of which really materialized directly in KDevelop but rather 
happened in separate plugins. The authors did work a lot on the core infra 
though which benefits us all to this day.

Bertjan Broeksema:

Then I believe Sandro Andrade worked on the control flow graph as part of his 
tenure or PhD, I can only find some blog posts with broken images right now:

Then, I'm not sure if Aleix also worked on KDevelop during his MSc?
