I use KDE and openSUSE for work around ten hours every single day. I really
only have time to report bugs to one location if I even manage to get
around to reporting them. Should the beta-customer be deciding what reports
go upstream from factory? It seems reasonable to me that all Factory
reports should go to bugzilla.novell.com and that all UNSTABLE reports
should go to bugs.kde.org. This way Factory can become SUSE specific due to
the KDE Team deciding what goes upstream and what gets patched.

That's easy. If the bug only occurs on opensuse, i.e. is due to packaging or
because opensuse patched KDE, then you can report it at opensuse. If it is a
KDE issue, i.e. valid no matter which distro you use, then it's upstream and
you have to report it at KDE.

This is especially true for unreleased, i.e. all versions except the one in
STABLE and of course for unreleased apps like knetworkmanager4, k3b4 etc.

For the packages in stable it does make sense to report to bugzilla, because
the patches to STABLE will be published as YOU update later on. The latter
however only applies to bugs, not feature requests, since STABLE will not get
any new features.
