1 Hello,

3 Sometimes it becomes a problem whenever a new release or a tricky bugfix comes
4 up for a certain package.
5 To improve QA we can let our userbase help, especially people who use certain
6 packages quite heavily - they can provide good or even superior QA than devs.
7
8 I think it would be a nice idea to keep a userlist for anyone who'd like to
9 volunteer testing packages they regularly use.

11 We can consider a web interface for enrolling users to specific packages, and
12 maybe even get a bug.g.o account for the list, this way a bug can be opened
13 for the testers to comment on whenever a change that requires testing or
14 maybe just aiding arch teams to stablize packages.
15
16 Maybe this was already pitched but it has just occured to me.
