On the other hand, consistency would be very useful here. It would get 
quite confusing for users if they had to know for each project whether 
it accepts wishlist items on bugzilla or on brainstorm. If all of KDE 
moved to brainstorm for wishes, we could just post on the Dot "From now 
on, all feature requests for KDE projects will be handled on 
brainstorm.forum.kde.org". At least for users, this would be much more 
helpful than a fragmented landscape where they may either go to bugzilla 
or brainstorm in vain because the project they have a request for uses 
the other one.

So why not start this discussion again on kde-devel and see what the 
other projects think? If we can find consensus (not unanimity!) for 
moving to brainstorm we should do it with the whole community. If not, 
specific projects can still go alone, accepting the fragmentation 
because it's still better for them than staying on bugzilla.

Best,
Thomas
