There was a testing sprint run by Sumantro recently, and generally he's
been signing up a lot of new testers. Sumantro, can you please check
and make sure folks are properly testing these updates? This update for
instance is involved in producing human-readable forms of fedmsgs; it
would actually be quite complex to test properly, I believe, as you
would need to have a whole test fedmsg hub set up.

"Install the package and see if the system breaks" is an appropriate
form of testing for some packages, but not all, many are not at all
related to typical desktop system functionality. Folks do need to make
sure they understand what a package is for and have actually tested its
functionality before posting feedback.

I do note that the 'Positive feedback' section of
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Update_feedback_guidelines is a
little simplistic here, and I'll try to update that.
