There are one to two people at openSUSE who take care of KDE, you can do the maths how much time they can spend on the product and whether they should waste some of that time for typing bug reports or doing the communication with upstream. They package and patch, they pick the major issues relevant for KDE, i.e. kdepim and packagekit-zypp backend for apper in 12.1, and then their time is gone. In an ideal world they might do all communication with upstream but with only one to two people around it makes more sense to keep everything off them that a user can do as well and let them concentrate on stuff a user cannot do.
<snip> I remember that _a lot_ of people at SuSE used to be working at KDE, because of some German gouvernemental project, explicitly demanding KDE... At the time of the Novell deal, i remember that some left, but is it really true, that they all left?
