There is one at the KDE wiki (http://kde.ground.cz). It surely can be 
extended, but it is already good.

I was thinking about linking the wiki article...

Also, as people don't have rights to close bugs they haven't reported 
initially, it wouldn't hurt much. Having some people adding comments 
like "This rendering error does not occur anymore with KDE 3.2, please 
close it." wouldn't be madness.

I'll work on the wiki article before asking people for help, so.

Carlos has been working on this and the documentation he has written up 
to now seems very good to me (it is all in the wiki). I believe that a 
copy of that documentation is available at www.kde.org/areas/quality too.

AFAIK, he wanted too have that documentation ready before creating a 
mailinglist. As it seems that the Quality Team is up and running (at 
least for KDE-PIM), I bet that the mailinglist can be created now 
(quality-team at kde.org?).
