Dear Phil,
A message on centos-users has raised a question in my mind about the openness of the QA process. I'm pretty sure that there is no desire to greatly expand the QA team, but on the other hand a few more serious QA testers might be worthwhile. I started to reply to the message below with a link to an announcement of opportunity to join the QA team from the centos-devel list, and possibly to add a bit to the "Contribute" page, but decided it might be better to bounce the idea around here instead.
This is what I wrote a few weeks ago and I would really appreciate an open and transparent QA process. I personally don't see any good reason why QA access should not be granted to ppl willing to help out.
Best Regards Marcus
