review requests probably should be going elsewhere; they make following actual 
discussion not about specific patches more difficult.

inter-module coordination ... should that not happen on the relevant module 
lists?

... and then where do people go who want to ask questions about "KDE-related 
development issues"?[1]

the reason kde-devel exists separately from kde-core-devel is to provide a 
place for developers working with KDE libraries and applications that doesn't 
also carry discussion related to work ongoing in kdelibs.

putting frameworks discussion on kde-devel would just create a new 
displacement.

perhaps it would make more sense to recall the purpose of each list, adapt to 
how the community is using reviewboard, and simplify rather than redefine and 
move around long-extant infrastructure?
