And that's why at least we're not keen on auto-opening repositories for new distributions. Often packages need adjustments before doing so, and if done automatically this would just break a lot of users' software.
Not speaking specifically to KDE here ...
It boils down to this: if 'you' (the maintainers) want to do all the work of those adjustments by yourselves, with minimal help from other users, then don't enable the repos to make them available for users to test.
I expected this sentence to end with "to contribute". But you simply confirmed what Luca said (and you omitted in your quote) - you suggest that all hard work is done by maintainers. In this case leave it to maintainer's discretion *when* they want to do hard work.
And you'll continue with the status quo -- countless, random requests to enable those repos after release, and the subsequent issues and bugs that are reported.
If, OTOH, you'd like more resources/eyeballs/etc on the problems beforehand, minimizing the problems that actually migrate INTO the release, then enable the repos before, so we have something to work with.
It takes single mouse click to branch project/package and you already have something that you can "work with" and then contribute back. What prevents you from doing it *now*?
(There's also the issue of the distro/release repos themselves not being "in beta" prior to release date, but that's a different discussion/thread.)
This holds true whether they're auto-enabled, or manually-enabled -- simply an issue of whether we can see/use them or not, and whether you want help or not.
