It's no secret that when it comes to KDE-based distributions, Kubuntu isn't exactly the cream of the crop. With the release of Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 5, the KDE4 desktop delivered with Kubuntu received some much-needed love. Let's take a look at what the Kubuntu people are doing.

Besides, if downstream would submit the patches to KDE, they would get review. Having KDE devs hunt all over the web in search of patches for KDE makes no sense...
You hardly need to hunt the patch. Just download the source deb and check the stuff in debian/ directory. It's something you can do in 15 minutes while drinking beer.
Regarding whether the packager is also an upstream kde contributor - it would still help if the author for that particular package would check it too. At least that should reduce the cries about how Kubuntu is killing kde.

They can review the patches downstream is applying over their code, and complain the maintainer if necessary. "
Considering that all downstream KDE guys also work upstream on KDE itself (even Canonical's Jonathan Riddel), your comment makes no sense.
