This question is not directed to me but let me try to answer anyway: Because 
that's exactly what kde-devel is.

kde-devel is the mailing list where technical/software development in the KDE 
community happens. And as where mostly using kdelibs/KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt 
as the base for our software this is the "KDE Frameworks user list" and 
nothing else.

For Plasma development (or "KDE's Desktop") there is plasma-devel and for 
certain KDE apps and modules with other lists but what else should be 
discussed on kde-devel then the usage of KDE Frameworks?
