Hi Karl, Matt, Ursula, Diogo,

In the today's team lead call, Curtis raised the issue of QA for
community contributions and how we're are already overloaded with QA.

We've agreed to try to integrate community into our existing QA process,
at least for things they can easily help with.

Major components to this would be:

 * existing test plans
 * QA section in cover letters in merge proposals

It'd be nice to organize test plan generation scripts to link directly
to MPs if available (Ursula and Diogo, if you can find time to do this,
that'd be wonderful :), but the first step we want is to get this
documented as one of the core steps of contributing on
dev.launchpad.net.

We want this available to non-coder contributors as well, so having it
slightly disconnected from "submit a patch" might be useful.  Perhaps a
top-level item "I want to... verify stuff works" (or whatever makes most
sense).

Anyway, I am sure you guys can figure out the best way to lay this out
yourself. :)

Cheers,
Danilo
