kio-extras versions on Bugzilla

The inherent challenge here is that everything reported against a git 
version eventually turns into a report against a specific released 
version once that version gets released. Ideally all such bug reports 
would have the version number changed accordingly to the appropriate 
number once the release is made. But that sounds really challenging to do.

In the absence of that, maybe just "git stable branch" and "git master 
branch"?
