Thats quite simple, 4.3.2 stay masked until we stable 4.3.1, stablebugs are 
waiting on archies, we are hoping people will test for us. If we unmask 4.3.2 
everyone will migrate to it so we would be stabling something not approved 
working.

There will be no changelogs. Use git history. 
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=summary
or just cd /path/to/the/interesting/dir/ && git log ../dir/

bugs.gentoo.org is official bugzilla for official projects. So yes you open bug in 
there. Just add prefix [kde-testing] to summary for easier identification in the 
list.

We are IRC driven guys mostly. :D So this is best tracker for you. If you 
think this is too few informations, well bad luck, because we aint going to 
improve it probably. If you want more infos on MLs then join the irc and do 
the summaries. :P
