When I read this, I panicked :). I added some target milestones for
the "telepathy" componenet in bugs.kde.org to aid with our feature
planning, and when I heard them mentioned here I thought for one
moment I had accidentally added them for all bugs.kde.org products.
Fortunately that's not the case. However, they do show up in the query
form when you haven't selected any products. Its unfortunate that this
is confusing for other developers, but I guess thats just a price we
pay for having different KDE subprojects using bugs.kde.org in very
different ways - what makes perfect sense for one project is "rather
odd" to another.
