In many cases, we have multiple testers and devices involved, so this 
might be "names" of the testers and "devices" ( w/image #s of course ).

How 'bout a short summary in the 'Test Plans' field with maybe a link 
and/or reference to a more detailed testing summary?

Ex.

For test results see: merge proposals x,y, and z.

For a more concrete example, see:

Trying to jam such details into a spreadsheet column feels a bit cramped...
