The problem I see with this is, that users most probably wouldn't stay
silent. Some of them might miss the "announcement" and once they see a
"hateposts" (although positive), they may not recognize that the author is a
developer and may very well join in ("I see a lot of posts dealing with bugs
all around KDE, hmm, maybe I could post my annoyances too..").

easily slide down into negative tone.
