Agreed. Due to KDE's popularity the lists are getting flooded and
important posts might be overseen between a lot of noise.

IMO your way of contributing is absolutely welcomed. I remember that
some of your reports have been quite valuable. I think everyone on this
list has had the experience that a posting got "ignored" but this simply
caused by the fact that everyone is busy, too. In the end it often comes
down to a situation where you have sit down and solve the problem on
your own. It may be frustrating but that's the nature of having a
project run by volunteers.
