This is key to detecting issues early on, and stop them affecting more users. Who should join? Community members with demonstrated track-record of good quality contributions. What’s the risk?

Does running automated tests on own hardware count as being part of testing team? I have some spare machines I can dedicate to that

what the testing team is aimed at. Automated tests can certainly play
some part in that.
