The draft SOP is an attempt to put a structure to the "Test Days". You
would recall that in the days prior to the release of Fedora 11, the
QA/Testing folks had been running Test Days on various aspects. The
draft is a way to collate all the learning from that and, present them
so as to enable anyone who wants to run a Test Day (say, for example,
a group of students at a college want to run an Installation Test Day
or, a LXDE Spin Test Day), can be up and running without having to run
around too much.

This in no way excludes the reporting of defects via the usual means
of the Bugzilla.
