How would you modify the release agenda to make more people test?

Yes. There are a lot of things it would be good to have... But
somebody has to implement them.

Since I suppose you are talking about
kmediafactory/mjpegtools/mpeg2enc ;-) I closed it as invalid because
it's not an openSUSE bug... and then I fixed the Packman package. That
package got fixed because you wrote about the problem in the Packman
mailing list, not because of the bugzilla entry.

With an openSUSE release bugzilla got a "Packman" component. I don't
think too much people used it to report and I don't think Packman
packagers really looked into it. It disappeared in the next release
and nobody complained.
I suppose you can convince people here to readd that component, but
what you really need is to convince Packman packagers to use it.
