It is actually already supported too:

$ grep -i -n kotlin userdiff.c
186:PATTERNS("kotlin",

To help you a bit, you can get the list of already supported languages using:

$ perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if m/PATTERNS\(\"(\w+)\"/ or
m/IPATTERN\(\"(\w+)\"/' <userdiff.c
ada
bash
bibtex
cpp
csharp
css
dts
elixir
fortran
fountain
golang
html
java
kotlin
markdown
matlab
objc
pascal
perl
php
python
ruby
rust
scheme
tex
