Which is not that bad ;) The more developers there are for KDE, the faster it 
gets better. Everyone who can code is invited to join, so are you :)

Yes. A general mailing list like this one does not scale for feature 
discussions (it would be flooded these days, and no one would read it). There 
are a lot of dedicated mailing lists (see 
http://www.kde.org/mailinglists/#{dedicated, application}) where single 
feature discussions might be more welcome (sorry, no one for Kicker). But bug 
reports (includes whishes) are a place to discuss things, too (plus they help 
the responsible developers collecting and organizing all the whishes and 
bugs, so none gets lost). 

Please adopt to the bug report system, it works out :) Simply browse a little 
on http://bugs.kde.org and see yourself.
