We're 4 maintainers for all of KDE in Fedora (and that's already 4 times as 
many as not too long ago). We get dozens of bug reports, many of which aren't 
specific to Fedora in any way. There's no way we can fix them all by ourselves, 
the only way to actually get things fixed is to report them to the actual 
upstream maintainers of the concrete application you're having issues with. And 
I don't think KDE is the only set of packages in this situation.
