Is there an internal Testers / Beta Tester Group?

I'm all too aware we are all testers. Personally i don't want to be a tester. Of course I will happily submit bug reports that i find that have not already been found, however i don't have the time to troll through 100s of posts to do this efficiently.

It seems to me to be a far from ideal situation not to have a dedicated test team that can give far more concise feedback and bug reports to the developers, rather than an open forum.

There are many dedicated members here who could be internal testers that would streamline this whole bug squashing process. After internal testing i'm all for beta patches to the masses to give a larger test to help locate harder to locate issues, but alpha patches to the public seems a odd way to do it.
