Some, but not all core-developers read this list, good ideas are often
re-posted on the devel lists.

AFAIR, some time ago there was nearly _no_ traffic at all on this list,
even now I think just discussing stuff here helps enough - there does
not have to be meta-information somewhere else IMHO.

As I said, I think most really good (and not too far-fetched) ideas
are used to improve KDE. Other ideas keep flowing around in people's
heads and if you want to look for details, you can still search the
archives. Many ideas just need too much coding manpower to be implemented
soon or don't belong into KDE but into the underlying OS's.
