The standard procedure in KDE is: never cross post.

That said, I have being cross posting a lot :), mainly because
kde-quality job is to get involved with other developers. It is in the
nature of kde-quality to discuss things together with other mailing
lists.

The procedure is: when organizing an effort that involves developers from
other lists and potential volunteers (for instance: setting a wiki page
for a new module other than kdepim), it is more than OK if you are cross
posting. Heck, if you are discussing docs, you may include
kde-doc-english too to triple post. If you are asking for feedback on a
work-in-progress implementation, it is OK to cross post. If it is too
incipient and if you want gentle feedback, you may try it first only here
:)

But for specific questions about applications and code, or to post a
finished implementation or idea, the best is to subscribe to the lists of
the applications you are interested in and to post only there. Or better
yet, if it is a quick doubt, ask on the application or module irc
channel. Or to the kde-devel channel, if there are no such channels.

Cheers,
