It's not really a development list: the aim of -testing was always to
try to recruit users to test releases as they're nearing completion.
Those users don't have to be inclined towards development, though, and
in fact it's probably best if they aren't so that we avoid the
can't-see-the-wood-for-the-trees problem.
