You are discussing a full QA team for KDE. Yes, I am all in favor of that. But 
we don't have the available resources. As you know, since you worked on it, 
this is no simple task.

We don't even have a proper bug management for the existing bugs. We don't 
have double checking of done bugs. I will soon put online a table for bug 
managers, one for each application, with status on the bug list maintenance, 
similar to the docs table. That will be a suitable first step. If we manage 
to build a large pool of people dealing with bugs, and solve this basic 
problems, then the first step would be to improve the system.

Thats just my view, fell free to disagree :)
