There is actually an ambiguity in our policy on that. We should fix it ;)

With regards,
Daniel.

Having said that, if anyone - even a non-committer - casts a -1, it WILL cause 
us to pause and think about it, discuss etc.

Strictly speaking, it is  PMC members votes that are binding. But this
is almost meaningless from a quality perspective and the distinction
shouldn't dissuade anyone from testing candidates when they can.

Anyone is free to test and help out, and frankly, we'd highly appreciate 
it if you did :).

We value input from our users, and anyone that can help out test a 
release will have our thanks and respect, and your opinions and findings 
WILL be taken into consideration.


With regards,
Daniel.

Hi devs,

As each release goes by I see the same few people involved with 
testing. It seems like a lot of work and I would like to help spread 
the load a little. Is it only committers than can participate in this 
process or do you invite help from others?


I can help test on the "common" platforms, viz. CentOS 7, Mac OSX 
10.10.4 and Debian, which I see a number of people already test. 
However, if me testing on those platforms may free up their time to 
test on other more exotic systems that I do not have access to, I am 
very happy to do so.


Please let me know how I can help out.

Sincerely,
Kean

Helping out with release testing

Hi devs,

As each release goes by I see the same few people involved with testing. It

Is it only committers than can participate in this process or do you invite
