This was my impression too... I've read adamw's reply to this message so
I'll just reply here that I got that impression from the email threads
rather than from the fesco meeting logs specifically.  Note that I did see
that there was a shift in some people saying that package maintainers should
be responsible for mobilising testers at some point... but at that point
I must have already got the wrong impression in my head.
