Hi everyone,

I'm looking for people helping with the stable-rc testing. As it has
been for a long time, usually the one shepherding the release also does
most of the checking. Checking a few spells is not much work, but
checking the whole list[0] for open bugs is quite exhausting. It simply
doesn't scale if only one person does the job, and since we eventually
want to extend this list to more interesting stuff like X, GNOME, KDE,
we really have to distribute this among several people.
I have already verified that all spells on the list cast fine, so only
the bug search remains. If you have a few minutes of spare time, just
search bugzilla for some remaining spells and note any major bug (i.e.
no "file installed by several spells" and other things that don't affect
actual functioning of the spell) in the last column, along with whether
you consider it gating (gating is mostly for major bugs that are new, so
didn't exist in the previous stable).
I will do the rest in the next couple of days, but I'd like to kick of a
bit more distribution of this work now, so we can eventually add more
spells to the list, to improve the quality of our stable releases.
Thanks for your attention ;)
