No, there is no reliable test interface for it until (if) the code is
merged.

Max asked how this is different than the old MobileFeedback feature that
was killed last year. My understanding is that that feature was killed
because the signal to noise ratio was too high. MobileFeedback asked users
for any kind of feedback and included options such as 'Technical problem',
'Article feedback', and 'General'. This feature is ONLY for submitting
reports of errors in articles. I think that having a very specific purpose
assigned to the feature will improve the signal to noise ratio, as well as
having an interstitial that encourages the user to fix the error themselves
rather than reporting it.
