Actually, now I think about it, the group is intended to be used for
stable releases too. Should we write it as if that's already in place?
Something like:

"The Proven Testers are a dedicated group of the Fedora Quality
Assurance Community who work towards making sure updated Critical Path
packages for stable Fedora releases and the upcoming stable release
('Branched') are not broken"?

I think it should say 'ProvenTesters group', not 'QA group'. The point
of the proventesters project is to fulfill this role (of giving
'weighted' feedback); the way Bodhi currently uses the QA and releng
groups to do this is just a short-term bodge. When we put ProvenTesters
in place, it will be members of that group whose feedback is weighted,
not QA/releng members.
