I have a friend working on this at Mozilla, and they have similar issues even with significantly more investment of resources than WMF has. Of the crowd-sourced testing services, I like uTest the most http://www.utest.com/. They are one of the oldest such services and they seem ethical. While I have not employed them for any projects, I have dealt with them directly from time to time in the past. As with any such project, defining a proper focus for the test effort is key to getting good results. -Chris
