So is there a specific problem you're trying to address, or are you just 
trying to add a scrollbar to the foler list in my kmail?

I'd say build system absolutely belongs here.  And I'd suggest that you 
distinguish between project administration and server administration.  
Project admnistration (setting freezes, releases, etc.) has to be here.  
You can't separate the code from the policy around it.

On the other hand, server administration, while vital, has no connection 
with the code.

You can say the same about kparts, kio, or kprocess.  Pure applications 
development without an eye toward improving KDE already has a list, 
kde-devel.
