certainly one person can not do it *all*. however, as i think 4.10 has shown 
rather dramatically, unless there is at least one person who is specifically 
given this responsibility, nobody does anything in this area.

keeping in mind what happened with 4.10, how will they coordinate?

yes, this is great for end product testing. we still need:

* to process those results
* coordinate large efforts as they happen
* catch obvious regressions before they hit these people

we need both a good # of people testing different configuration. in part, that's 
us on this list; it should also be, as you note, a larger group of people who 
we build a well known means of communication with; which would be 
bugs.kde.org.
