STABLE is important, Factory becomes more important the closer they get to a 
new openSUSE release. UNSTABLE is completely useless for them, since it is 
neither part of any released openSUSE version, nor being worked on for a 
future release.

With their limited resources they have to focus on STABLE and openSUSE-
specific bugs/features. Further, they cannot be experts for every single 
application, so the maintainer of that application at bugs.kde.org is likely 
to have more knowledge and can fix things quicker.

Every non-openSUSE-specific bug, should have a report at bugs.kde.org. If it 
is a really important feature, like e.g. bluetooth support not working at all, 
or a really importand bug, which might already be fixed upstream (can't think 
of any ATM), then it does make sense to file it downstream too and add the 
upstream bug report into the URL field. That way they can keep track of 
showstoppers before a release and crucial fixes after a release.
