Hopefully we canget round this with more people - many hands make light

Agreed - the KMail folks have this specifically written down as a policy:
http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Kmail%20Bug%20Management

Provided there is the resources to achieve it, this could be a good plan.
Maybe it's worth investigating setting up a KDE bugs team, like the GNOME
one:
http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad

Ack, thanks for the reminder.
