Re: Helping out with release testing
Anyone is free to test and help out, and frankly, we'd highly appreciate it if you did :). As for the voting; Anyone can vote on a release, but only committers can cast binding votes. Having said that, if anyone - even a non-committer - casts a -1, it WILL cause us to pause and think about it, discuss etc. We value input from our users, and anyone that can help out test a release will have our thanks and respect, and your opinions and findings WILL be taken into consideration.

I can help test on the common platforms, viz. CentOS 7, Mac OSX 10.10.4 and Debian, which I see a number of people already test. However, if me testing on those platforms may free up their time to test on other more exotic systems that I do not have access to, I am very happy to do so. Please let me know how I can help out.

Re: Helping out with release testing
There is actually an ambiguity in our policy on that. We should fix it ;) With regards, Daniel.
