List of spells for the 0.6 stable grimoire release:
How to test:
The chroot is available here
http://scry.dtdm.net/chroot.tar.bz2 - 70MB
http://scry.dtdm.net/chroot.tar.lzma - 40MB cast lzma-utils to extract and recast tar with the patch to have it all done through tar
NOTE: it extracts into . so be sure to be in your chroot dir first.
If you're already are running stable somewhere, you dont need to wait, just test with that. Otherwise, download the chroot once it becomes available.
In the meantime search bugzilla for bugs with your spells, fix those you consider gating, note those you dont consider gating on the wiki.
Test your spells by first installing them in the stable environment (if not already installed), then add stable-rc (0.6) and try updating the spell. If the spell is broken and wont install from stable, then just try installing it straight from stable-rc. Whatever path applies, and whatever issues you find, if any, note them on the wiki page. File bugs when appropriate. If you think a bug is "non-gating", state that. Im deliberatly not defining "gating" in any formal way right now.
(Place an "X" in the signed off column once you have signed off on the spell.)

udev |
iuso |

going to postpone the udev->hotplug transition until the next stable, which means we probably should downgrade udev in stable-rc to the version from stable 0.4 |

casts and upgrades ok |
util-linux |

wget |
lejatorn |

In short: pick some spells, note them on the wiki, fix any gating bugs you find in bugzilla, download the stable chroot tarball when it becomes available, test a spell upgrade to stable-rc, fix any issues you find. When you're done, sign-off on those spells on the wiki.
