I think you just did! Best way to start, is by discussing and following
up.

My preference would be to store test procedures in a single location.
For now, it's the wiki. By using the existing wiki infrastructure, it
makes potential migration to another tool much easier.
If steps to test or reproduce an issue are posted to a bug, let's
provide a clear path for how and where to contribute those test
instructions to the wiki.

As long as the documented test instructions provide links to the
scripts, that should be fine (whether they are in bugzilla as
attachements, uploaded to the wiki as files, in some upstream test
suite, or on a fedorapeople.org page).

See my earlier response, let's definitely leverage the wiki to get this
started. We have some current wiki structure we could refine and use
for this purpose. For example, see the hierarchies linked below ...
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Test_Cases
