It's a list of people interested in this bugreport. If you add yourself to 
this list, you get an email every time the bug changes (status, comments,

Yes and no. They'll be merged into master, but not made available as part of 
PA3. You will however be able to add a repository with latest packages, so you 
can upgrade to the development version.

Bugfixes might be backported to the stable packages.

Grooming the Wiki would be useful. Testing is useful, user support, and of 
course translation. For the latter, see http://i18n.kde.org/
