For the more complex packages (that have featuritis), I do find these
reports very valuable. I only get 1-2/week, but I'd like more.

Examples of things I'd like tested:

app-admin/testdisk - recover of unusual partition types.
app-admin/amanda - tape changers.
net-analyzer/ns, net-analyzer/nam - lots of feature creep to test
sys-apps/tcng - lots of feature creep here again.
