I don't know any numbers.  But I can tell you if you are using the "testing"
channel than you *are* testing, so you don't need to figure out how to
test things, only how to report your test findings.

Your needed steps now are:

* Determine which test packages you have installed.
* If needed, learn how to use gpg to make a clear signed message.
* For each test package, create a message saying you tested it and found no
  problems.  Then gpg clearsign that message, and copy/paste the result into
  the bugzilla entry for that bug.

For information on determining which packages you have tested, ask this
mailing list for help.

For gpg help, see http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/PGPHowTo

For bugzilla help, see http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/bugzilla.php

For any other questions about helping, ask this mailing list.

For information on finding more time in your day, seek a spiritual guide
or time management expert ;)
