New maintainers helping on QA even if we have no concept for QA and only
a real small team doing QA? I don't appreciat this and talked with
Martin Michlmayer, one of the AMs, about this and he generated a nice
mail-text which will be useful for NMs. Maybe he could post it also
here, because I think it's better then forcing NMs to help with QA.
