I very much agree with you.
Even just following b.k.o is a lot of work for a developer.

IMO a member of the quality team should adopt one app/lib and then do nothing 
else then watch b.k.o, dot.kde.org, some mailing lists, e.g. kde-usability 
and then try to get important results directly over to the developer (either 
a specific mailing list or directly, not via kde-devel).
