I think you are right, the bug tracker must be useful for developers and help 
fixing issues. We currently don't have enough developers to maintain different 
versions, so my opinion is that we can close KDE3 bugs (unless is seems like a 
feature request or a bug that obviously still applies to KDE4 version).

I understand that it can be frustrating for some users, but they need to 
realize that there is only one regular contributor to Kdenlive's code and that 
it's a huge job. I really think the people involved here try to do their best.
