I ask because I submitted many bug reports and most of them remain open. A handful are critical if I am to migrate from KDE 3.5.10 to Trinity. If I had to whittle my list to a few hopefuls for 3.5.13:
293 Kde-config Incorrectly Creates a Profile Folder in the System root directory 388 KDESU Dialog Box Behavior 393 Incorrect kdesu Behavior When Opening Kate 394 Problems with DCOP After Using kdesu 296 New Trinity Profile Error Messages 335 Konqueror Icon Activation Effect 389 Activation Effects 385 Unmounted removable device icons do not appear on the desktop 303 Safely Unmount does not always remove the icon from the desktop 258 ksmserver: Logout confirmation fadeaway is too slow with older hardware
Some or all of these bugs might have been resolved without the developer being aware of a bug report. Building and testing the packages will go far to help and might be the only way to confirm the bug is resolved. I hope to attempt building soon, which is why I started this thread, but did not want to start if development was still in arrears.

Some of the kdesu bugs may have been fixed, but unfortunately no one has had a chance to work on the others AFAIK. We are after all only human, with day jobs and other responsibilities to get in our way. ;-)
I have decided to go ahead with the release in the hopes that the significant improvements may attract more developers, to avoid the project appearing dead, and to allow us to move to GIT (which may also help attract more developers). This release is not perfect by any means, but it is still an improvement overall upon its predecessors.
