For one  there is no longer a "Fedora Core"  there is just "Fedora"   its just

perhaps you could have a tracker bug to keep track of all the bugs you find  
so they can all be easily referenced

how do you propose to achieve this goal?
do you have a test matrix you follow?   do you have resources that you could 
give people access to help with testing?  

It sounds like a great goal.  you should probably work with Will Woods to help 
with his QA efforts.  you should also speak with David Woodhouse about ppc 
specific QA testing.
