  all of the above. last point may become unnecessary, because if once
  you forward it upstream and notify the submitter about the
  bugs.k.o/nnn URL, many times they make themselves aware of the changes
  that happen there.

  asking. e.g., I normally don't create b.k.o entries for wishlist bugs,
  since these are very low priority and other bugs are more important.
  if I can, I mail the submitter stating so.

  for the second part ("poll"), there is the list pkg-kde-bugs-fwd,
  which I announced on this post [1].

    [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2004/11/msg00137.html

  as for a script that would create a new bug at b.k.o (when invoked
  manually, not unsupervised), I've been wanting that for ages now. I
  know there exists a python script somewere (by ESR, I believe) to send
  bugs to Bugzillas - not sure if it would work with bugs.kde.org.

> thoughts ?

  that nobody should get too troubled/worried by the amount of existing
  (old) bugs. we can go cleaning those up at a low pace, and really
  focus in handle new bugs so that the list does not grow more.

You've come to the right place.  At debian-devel we are always willing
to argue over the meanings of words.
