That I certainly hope and will do what I can to support you there as much as 
possible.

What about Review Board (http://reviewboard.kde.org)? Could this be of use for 
you. KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 use it extensively and it seems to serve 
them well. And there are other projects as well that use ReviewBoard.

And what about switching Mantis over to KDE's Bugzilla as well. Then you might 
get additional man power to e.g. triage bugs etc.

And as a last step switch over the mailing lists as well. Just tell me if you 
are interested in the above proposals and I might help you do find out the 
details.
