Actually, the LibreOffice project is rather well organized in this regard--please review the QA Wiki here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA QA is a distinct entity to Development--and while there is certainly some cross over, the developers are not moderators of the process. That falls to the Engineering Steering Committee with input from the entire community--QA team, UX and Design team, Documentation team, Localization/Internationalization team, Marketing team and the occasional needs of TDF board. So, always room to participate. Please start as Tom suggested by loading a current build of the 4.4.0 build, or a daily Tinderbox of master and test there. We can always use additional help with the QA process--get a login on our FDO hosted Bugzilla instance <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/> and dive in, plenty of triage work to go around.
