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?
Well, I don't remember who had the quote, but I'll paraphrase: "Never start a mailing list unless you have to." I don't think that the amount

I would argue the opposite. I think we've definitely achieved enough sustained discussion of QA topics like usability, testing, and so forth, that a separate mailing list would be viable.
However, the reason for the proposal is not really to migrate traffic off the main list so much as to increase the focus we can give to testing of inkscape.
