http://wiki.freedesktop.org/XOrg/XorgReleaseStatus shows that they had
testers for various platforms: IA-32, Alpha, AMD64/EM64T, Sparc64, HP
PA-RISC, ARM, IA-64, PPC, PPC64, MIPS, S/390, Sparc. (Only M68k was listed
but didn't have a tester.)

That webpage is incomplete, because it didn't indicate who gave back
results, but at least it did show some names of those who indicated they'd
do tests.

Note that NetBSD had no volunteers. (Although I did setup a NetBSD
tinderbox for daily builds for them for a few weeks.)
