I think the question may have been "what is the difference between the fedora-devel and fedora-test lists" rather than "what is the difference between rawhide and a test release", but I may be wrong (question was ambiguous). fedora-devel is a list for discussing fedora development, in particular, but not limited to, the Rawhide tree. The Rawhide tree is where all fedora development happens. At certain points in time, as a release date approaches, a test release is composed from the rawhide tree - a test release is a "snapshot" of the development (rawhide) tree. Issues specific to that test release can/should be discussed on the fedora-test list. To the extent that issues with the test release are relevant to ongoing development, there is a very grey and fuzzy distinction between the lists. Most often, if you see an issue with a test release it's best to start discussing it on the fedora-test list, and once the problem is understood and diagnosed and a bugzilla report filed, it may then be worth raising it on the fedora-devel list.
