Thanks for the submission, Yaroslav -- and for building on the suggestion of Jeremy C in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7273. This is a nice and simple approach that is backward compatible.
The KIP looks good so far, but I do have two specific suggestions to make things just a bit more explicit. First, both the "Public API" and "Proposed Changes" sections could be more explicit that the methods in the proposal are being added; as it's currently written a reader must infer that. Second, the "Proposed Changes" section needs to more clearly specify that the WorkerSourceTask will now use the new fromConnectData method with the headers instead of the existing method, and that the WorkerSinkTask will now use the toConnectData method with the headers instead of the existing method.
