Hmmmz, okay. Just for my curiosity: what do people expect when they read
"brightness/contrast" then? Only being able to change them for the entire image
at once, with a slider?

IMO, it already did.  I can, and did, get lost in it.  It's better than with
some of our competitors, though :)

(Side note: KOffice and KDE menus in general tend to explode, so it is not
purely a Krita issue, and I don't mind it as long as stuff is easy to find.)

For example (there are a few more):
- Filter > Blur > Pixelize became Filter > Artistic > Pixelize
- Filter > Decor > Round Corners became Filter > Map > Round Corners
- Filter > Other > Bumpmap became Filter > Map > Bumpmap
