That's exactly the reason why so many bugs rot in the BTS forever. On big
sources, it is almost impossible for the Debian-Maintainer on all changes to
close rather upstream related bugs.
What does he do then: he asks the only person that eventually reported it.
That person says that is uses Debian stable only and does not want to test
Debian stable.
So you want upstream bugs in the BTS closed after 2-3 years? Get real! Those
requesting such non-sense are the same persons that complain about
long-standing bugs in the BTS and that many bugs are left unanswered.
Upstreams does not look at the Debian BTS, so where's the gain? Additionally,
KDE has a nice bug reporting built-in.
