Thiago is quite correct - this is almost entirely a manpower-bound issue.
KDE gets ~80 new bug reports/wishes per day, in addition to the nearly
13,000 items that already exist. To deal with that effectively takes a lot
of time, but it's unfair to suggest that it's an issue that no one cares
about - we've organised a few bug triage weekends, which have had some
success, and a number of people spend a lot of time doing exactly the
things you mention.

If you have concrete suggestions for ways to improve the situation, or you'd
like to organise a bug triage weekend, please discuss it on
kde-quality@kde.org.

Regards,
Philip
