Yes please! I'm one of those people that enjoys grabbing the latest release
candidate, giving it a spin, and, if possible, providing a bit of feedback.

I like this idea as well. I know the core developers are on IRC and that
chatting is a very efficient way for them to coordinate their efforts.
However, the -dev list could be used to give keen non-core people some clues
about how the release is coming along and when it is expected to land. At
the very least, it's quicker and easier to get this type of info by browsing
through mail archives than scanning through IRC logs.

Cheers,
