I got a PM from one of the users who showed a great interest to help:

"Hello, Ali! I have unsubscribed the mailing list for now, because I was
receiving 30 mails per day and I could not find the important mails I need.
And all of these 30 mails are for testing and I really don't need them now,
because I have a lot of work and I can't help with testing, you know that.
But I want to translate, so this is my job and I will do it."

That is 'exactly' why I asked you to PLEASE keep the general list for
everything except testing :)

PLEASE, send your testing feedback/Questions to the QA Team.

I don't want to lose more interested people who wanted to help because of
testing. Let's do everything correctly, please!
I am having hard time to find people to join. I don't want to lose anyone.

Thank you!
