Now that plasma-desktop uses KDE_VERSION_STRING (since 4.10.3) instead of the never changing stone 0.4 version, we can make use of bugzilla's new feature of rejecting reports against disabled versions to reduce received crash reports. Since the plasma product is already receiving too many reports, I think it can apply a very strict policy with active versions: only make the current stable and current development version active. That means only making 4.10.3(current stable) and 4.10.60 (current development) active.
Actually, since all plasma-desktops form KDE SC 4.10.2 and older use the same 0.4 version, we can simply add and disable that 0.4 version. Once that simple operation is done, plasma product won't receive any plamsa-desktop crash report from KDE SC 4.10.2 and older. I generally won't recommend such a strict or rude policy, but that is indeed one option if really needed.
* filter out new bugs quicker (I have some ideas especially for crashes)
would like to hear about that.
* introduce more components
Yes, one component for each plasmoid
* assign maintainers to the components
assign each component to the fake plasma-<compont>-b...@kde.org user, and add real maintainer and plasma-b...@kde.org into default CC list of each component. We all know the horrible traffic brought by watching plasma-b...@kde.org. Divide and conqueror. Seriously, I always wonder how many plasma developers are watching plasma-b...@kde.org ? No blame, I just think the horrible traffic would easily defeat most watchers.
Never make real users as the default assignee, because that only causes trouble for maintain-ship handover, and make bug watching painful (assume I'm the default assignee of kickoff component and super active in the whole bugs.kde.org ,but some potential contributor is currently only interested with kickoff bugs...)
* get the maintainers to care;-)
My impression is many components/plasmoids just do not have dedicate maintainer, or has some no longer active maintainer.
