Though I doubt bureaucracy will help, adding some strict criteria
doesn't seem a bad idea.

That's a sound idea, that way some herds (see KDE) won't have to be
searching for testers in every arch because _strangely_ one of the most
daily used desktop environments doesn't have many users among the testers.

If the projects are small, that shouldn't be an issue. (i.e. does not
imply much effort)

What are the reasons for a minimum of 5 developers? Any argument for
that? What do you understand for 'formal plan'?

What if the projects are small enough? How about belonging to the
infrastructure project for instance, does it count?

Again, reducing the market isn't the way IMHO.

I agree with this one. A monthly report might bring some order and light :)
