Yes. So the first step is to sort out those backtraces to eliminate duplicates,
before posting any bugs with them. See also the "backtrace dupe finder" on bugs.kde.org

The problem with blindly posting backtraces though, is that they lack instructions
on how to trigger the crash... this makes them basically useless since we can't test
the fix to know if we have really fixed the crash.
