We in QA community usually call the individuals that test and file bug 
reports "reporters" but since you guys are trying to handle your own QA 
coverage you might call them something else and based on your response 
you seem to be not interesting in have people test kernel on GA release 
ahead of time or are planning to handle that differently in your own 
process otherwise this being broken would have mattered the kernel 
community.
