I can say Jonathan has pretty much summed up my feelings and experience as well.

I think even now the vast majority of sign-offs are still done by developers. I try to balance my community work between sign-offs and qa'ing.

I think the answer to the RM bottleneck is to push more work to the module maintainers.

1) MM pushes patches to each respective module branch

2) RM pulls from these branches to master

Of course, there is a higher likelihood for merge conflicts, but I see no way around that, except to allow MMs to push to master.

As for the SO bottleneck, I see know answer except for more encouragement for the end-users to test and sign-off, as well as absolutely clear, step-by-step test plans.

Hi
Having been on the both sides for 1 year and half ("customer" and patch-tester), I agree too with most of Jonathan's remarks.

For example, when your companies secure a contract with a new customer, do you make a demonstration of bugzilla and sandboxes ?
And, in the different countries where you have contracts, do libraries using Koha organize meetings or local hackfest ? In France we try to do that, and even if it's not yet perfect, but I think the results are globally positive.
