Ah, sorry for using unknown TLAs[1]. :-)

BTS is Debians bug tracking system.  It is found at
<URL: http://bugs.debian.org/ >.  If you visit the following pages, you
should find most of the registered bugs with central KDE packages:

Checking <URL: http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html.gz >
will tell you the current status in testing.

Sending patches, testing patches, testing if bugs are still present
and asking for more information needs to be done for a lot of the
registered bugs.  (BTW: I believe emails asking for more info must be
sent to <@bug>-submitter@bugs.debian.org in addition to
<#bug>@bugs.debian.org).
