That would be great-- you can cut your teeth testing the release candidates
for the bugfix release in the current cycle, familiarize yourself with how
to run the tests, etc.

We definitely have a shortage of OSX and windows testing, especially the
latter, because few people run from git HEAD  on windows, but lots of
people do on linux.

Just chime in when you see the announcements for "rc" release candidates on
the users or devel lists.
