In most organizations, personal opinions never represent the opinion of the 
entire organization. We have press contacts/official representatives which 
represent KDE's opinion in each zone, who are known to be involved with KDE 
and have a notion of its current direction.

I don't think restrictions would help that, history has shown very involved 
and known developers sometimes can be more problematic inside the community 
and in the relationship with the general oss world than new developers, there 
is no such relation between those 2 parameters.

People talking in the name of KDE, doing it wrong and not representing the 
whole project matters, should be amonested. If someone wants to give his 
personal opinion, you can do it using your private email address (using 
KDE.org email as your unique and main address has no much sense at all)
