Watching the latest updates in Fedora, there have been many items (libtiff, wireshark, asterisk, etc.) which I know how to use, but I am somewhat hesitant to test since they require having a lot of sample files, configurations, and (in the case of things like Asterisk) other systems to talk to.
And while Bugzilla often tells us the exact format(s) and protocol(s) fixed by a release, the particular items needed to test it are hard to predict in advance.
Does the Fedora test team or a related project have a library of configuration and test files of various types which may be downloaded for testing purposes? If not perhaps we should create one. Making setups and sample items on the fly using software other than that under test can take me a lot of time.
