Users report bugs in bugs.kde.org. But that doesn't change that bugs.kde.org 
is a tool for the developer, not the user. Once the bug is in bugzilla, it's 
my property, as a developer, and I need to have a workflow that allows me to 
efficiently handle over a thousand bug reports a year.

Users do treat bugs.kde.org as a helpline, but that's invalid, and I close 
such help requests as invalid, though I also give the users the help they 
need, of course.
