Actually, the LibreOffice project is rather well organized in this
regard--please review the QA Wiki here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA

QA is a distinct entity to Development--and while there is certainly some
cross over,  the developers are not moderators of the process. That falls to
the Engineering Steering Committee with input from the entire community--QA
team, UX and Design team, Documentation team,
Localization/Internationalization team, Marketing team and the occasional
needs of TDF board.

So, always room to participate. Please start as Tom suggested by loading a
current build of the 4.4.0 build, or a daily Tinderbox of master and test
there.   

We can always use additional help with the QA process--get a login on our 
FDO hosted Bugzilla instance <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/>   and dive in,
plenty of  triage work to go around.

Regards,

Stuart
