The group appears to be created, thanks maxamillion and ricky!

I'm asking on #fedora-admin if it's easy to script/batch move existing
approved 'qa' group members into 'proventesters'.  Once we have the
current critpath approvers migrated into 'proventesters', I'll ask
lmacken to update bodhi.

Will leave this as a discussion topic next week.  The open questions for
me are ...

     1. What are our expectations for proventesters?  Kamil's package
        update test plan [1] seems like a great start.  What other
        guidance can we give proventesters?  I'd like to avoid saying,
        "please just test stuff"
     2. How to determine whether someone who is requesting proventesters
        membership has the right stuff?  Can we document the criteria
        that will be used?  Bugzilla stats (new bugs, traiged bugs),
        bodhi karma supplied, mailing list contributions ...

mmcgrath showed me the special TRAC sauce needed to enable this TRAC
plugin.  So we can provide a template for new tickets is desired. 

Thanks,
James
