kde-core-devel and khtml-devel are moderated mailing lists to keep them on topic. No idea who does the moderation.

There are also hundreds of private KDE IRC channels for the KDE elite, veterans, girls, women and groupies. There is a top secret KDE IRC channel #riddel-is-dumb (or something similar) for the KDE elite.

[Don't take the title of this seriously, it just means the groups arn't publicised for whatever reason]
