Sure, why not...it's a community project afterall, and if there's value
of storing build infrastructure, patches or otherwise on
opensolaris.org, I'll make every effort to help make that development as
open as humanly possible and I know others will too. Ideally you should
be working with the upstream community as much as possible, but I'm sure
you're aware of that for your own sakes. But you're the guys with the
KDE experience - it's your ship, you need to steer it.
It's not 'us' against 'you' [1] - we're all in this together, and once
the infrastructure is online, community momentum is very much reliant on
people picking up tasks and running with them. We're just at the
unfortunate point in time where the infrastructure isn't where we'd like
it to be - everyone is counting on it, and I'm sure it'll gradually get
there.

[1] If it feels like that, there's something that we're all doing
wrong, and you should *totally* speak up with issues or
suggestions of what we need to be doing
