I don't know that there is much that can be done to improve this situation; suggestions are welcome so long as they keep in mind the limited developer resources available.
well, I think a valid point in the critics mentioned there is the difficulty to port existing kde3 applications to trinity. maybe a howto in the wiki could help here. I'll try to contribute on this if others here agree, once R14 is out. the reason is, I did not keep track with the ever changing situation w.r. to GIT/cmake lately, as I realized these 2 are not my friends :)
I was never able to compile an old KDE2 program for KDE3.5 - that much for backward compatibility.
But I would strongly suggest to advertise bugfixes on the homepage and to release buxfixes via the official repository. It's somewhat strange that a user has to include Slaveks repository to get the bugfixes.
Just my 2 cent.
