Of the three, I feel the inkscape-tester community would be the most valuable to form right now, and would give us the most bang for the buck. I'm willing to put effort into getting it organized and started. Are there people who'd like to see this formed and/or participate in it?
I really don't think it's necessary. The -user works well because it allows users to explain Inkscape tricks to each other, which not all devs are interested in. But even that list has its downside, as quite often I see there complaints and bug reports that the devs really should see. The same will be even more true for -testing. Simply put, all devs must care about testing by definition, so I see no reason for a person to be on one list and not the other, and therefore I see no reason for a separate list at all.
Especially with this broad definition:
sustained discussion of QA topics like usability, testing, and so forth,
Usability is definitely a topic for ALL devs (and users) to discuss.
