I'm really amazed by your attitude towards free software developers.
You do realize that we work on Kubuntu in our spare time and for free?
You just can't criticize someone for not spending more time on something
that he does for free.
Also we are mostly distribution developers and not upstream developers.

The other question is whether you even want to have a "remember
authorization" feature.

That's a funny automatism that seems to be common these days:
Ubuntu is evil, Debian always does the right thing.

Unfortunately in this case the problem (broken checkbox) is shared
by all KDE-based distributions. Most of them (including Debian)
haven't even removed the checkbox.
