KDE bugs are on bugs.kde.org. That is a Mageia bug for KDM, which as
far as I know is no longer supported by the KDE community, although
our bug-tracker might show the same/similar bug. If so however, you
would think it would be linked on that Mageia BR.

I imagine that Mageia has an IRC channel, mail list or forum where
their bug squashing team discusses things, if such discussion does not
take place right there in the BR.

It's tough to say where to go beyond Mageia. KDM is no longer
developed; SDDM is now preferred.

This list, KDE-Community, is for discussion of community issues.
KDE-devel is where general programming issues are dealt with, and then
there are lists for teams like KDE-Edu, KDEPIM, Frameworks, and lots
of the applications. See https://www.kde.org/support/mailinglists/ for
more information.

All the best,

Valorie
