In the KDE case, just let KDE SIG (including our triager, S. M. Parrish,
also known as tuxbrewr) handle it, I don't think we need any guidelines
there (we've been doing well so far) nor that it's particularly easy to
come up with some (how is a user expected to know what causes a bug?
Sometimes even we developers are mistaken and get the bug bounced back by
the KDE folks, who now have a CLOSED DOWNSTREAM state in their Bugzilla for
this purpose).

Maybe there are packages where guidelines are easier to come up with though.
