You quite clearly have no idea how this community works. I'll thank
you not to misdirect discussions.

I find that quite insulting.

I've *been* the guy who had to ask for a new KDevelop release because a trivial patch turned out to crash the parser with a specific distro's Python setup.

When I had time to work on kdev-python I spent quite a bit of effort triaging our bugs and deciding which to work on, and then wbich fixes were reasonable to backport.
I was in the room at Akademy with the whole team doing much the same.
We never had any separation between the people regularly doing bug triaging and the maintainers, and until KDevelop joined the release service quite recently the same people did all the releases too.

If you think my perspective from one corner of KDE is skewed, or outdated because I've not been active much in the last couple of years, I'd be happy to hear it and you'd probably be right.

But a one-line brush-off as if I've never been part of the community...that does upset me.
