One system that I find a lot of potential value in is the Wikitech Ambassadors mailing list. I hope that mailing list grows and can be the place where we make announcements that should be communicated widely.
Yes, that, but to make it really useful testing environments must be set up.
Every email to that mailing list must have a tl;dr version that MUST have the following two things: 1. A two-line-max description of the feature that is going to be deployed. 2. A link to a working testing environment where the feature can be tested. It can be labs or something like test.wikipedia. Or a feature can be available using a preference which is off be default.
Let people test - and make it easy.
