Test accounts are indeed available.

Oh, that reminds me of something else:
A while ago the admins went through and purged accounts from the
extensions site. IIRC I didn't have any specific concerns about the
procedure at the time, although I had a niggling concern in the back
of my head that I was missing something. What I think I was missing
was that a user account is necessary for up/downvoting. As such, we
shouldn't purge accounts, or at least not purge any accounts that have
been used for voting or etc..

Along with contact details for developers, we should have clear
documentation for how to report bugs re: extensions. We've fumbled
along in QA for quite some time, and we need to make that workflow
simpler.
