Someone did alert me to this, and I did reply with an apology.  I
haven't seen it arrive here, so maybe Thunderbird got my mail IDs
mixed up again - sorry.  Since the important bit there is also a reply
to your question here, I'll add it below.

As far as I know, there is no such list.  However, there *is* a forum:

http://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=59&sid=a6f159e61199f8259b29aeb568c1901d

It's well worth directing questions there.

For anyone finding there way in generally from a browser, it's

http://forum.kde.org -> KDE Software section -> Operating System
Specific -> Windows.

Good luck, Francois.
