The testing-on-python mailing list is probably the best place (and if doesn't have that status already I'd be keen to elevate it to "official sig for Python testing issues" status).

	http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/testing-in-python

Like the "massively distributed testing" use case, I'd be very happy for the standard library testing capabilities to better support this use case - but I wouldn't like to design their apis around that as the sole use case. :-)

May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others
May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
