Then document it.

The triagers are mostly volunteers, so there is no distintion. The 
Kubuntu developers (at least one of whom works for BlueNote as opposed 
to Canonical) concentrate on KDE items, and they prefer to swim closer 
to upstream when it comes to bug tracking.

Remember, there are plenty of other resources for user support, so your 
primary focus with triaging is helping the devs! They're Santa, and 
we're the elves. Telling Kubuntu devs their workflow is "incorrect" and 
expecting them to fit a mold isn't going to work...
