You are hurt, but only due to your own ignorance. Make the next step.
Forget that you are hurt, because you were giving people orders and the
didn't obey. Get a clue and ask yourself what open source software is. Has
anybody any duty towards you? So? What is the whole point of Debian or
other OSS? To make the SW better? Right! So now get on with it and
contribute in a way that is constructive and stop annoying people.

Such is reality. Get over it or better make something better out of it by
stepping up and becoming a constrictive member of the community, by, f.ex.
going through the bugs and reporting upstream the ones that should go
upstream. The essential truth is that you will need to understand is that
there's no difference between Debian KDE "management" and a Debian KDE
"user". Both can contribute, both use the SW. AFAIK most of the current
Debian maintainers are/have been contributing a lot to Debian KDE
a long time before they've become maintainers. Do the right thing and
_help_ the project.
