hmm I'm still wondering if it is a good thing, the description of the
list on the archives is "For active testers of PostgreSQL Alphas and
Betas to report test results." or if you ask mj2:

"The pgsql-testers mailing list is for users committed to helping with
Alpha and Beta testing of new versions of PostgreSQL. It is also use for
automated processing of testing results. "

apart from the typo in the second one(what automated processing btw - is
that google docs?) I basically parse both version as "this is the
official way to report bugs in beta/alpha", I'm not sure this is
actually understood by every community member and a sensible split of
traffic between -bugs and hackers...
