You put in a lot of time in talking down to people and explaining they are 
harming KOffice by holding opinions they aren't entitled to because they 
aren't the community management expert you are. But you aren't. I don't claim 
I am either, but at least people tell me they find Krita a nice, helpful, 
welcoming community, easy to get in and they tell me they find themselves 
respected and valued there. Which, look at Ben's mail again, is definitely 
_not_ true for KOffice at the moment.

My solution, one that seems to work for everyone but you, is to allow feature 
requests in bugzilla. A different component could be created, and that's 
sounds like a fine improvement to me. 

I don't buy your argument that having a feature request in bugzilla scuppers 
any chance at building a plugins community. If bugzilla is so hard to use, 
then people won't notice that request anyway. And it gives the rest of the 
KOffice developers a way of handling feature requests without having to track 
yet another website.
