headphoned doesn't listen on any remote port and only communicates with Bluetooth (AIUI, although it doesn't pause when my BT headphones disconnect, so maybe I misread that).
Perhaps it'd be better defined as "trivial remote attack vector"?

Sounds like a plan.

- Any daemon which auto-starts MUST NOT provide a trivial attack vector, and so SHOULD (for example) prompt for a password during installation.

However, if you say there are testers, I'll create a list.

I do not know if there is more testers, but monthly "advertisement" about this is not bad IMHO 
There is more and more users but in this jungle of information here nobody knows where to begin or what is happening here and some direction sign are always useful

Here's a list of packages in testing queue http://maemo.org/packages/repository...in_repo_page=5 . What more lists are really needed?
You can start from any part of the list and test as many applications as you wish. If application has already 10 votes or more, more testing is not necessarily needed.

The new list will focus on apps that needs just a few votes in order to reach Extras, hope that will clean the queue a bit. I'll also insert a Vote Down section for removing not-ready apps.

IMHO all talking (Just guess that not many users follow other areas of maemo.org) here evoke people to do testing and experiment their N900.
Now everything is probably crystal clear for people who have been here for ~4 months, but new potential users and users who have forgot this can get idea.
All in all I think that all the little projects what you have going on here need little advertisement once in awhile. Itīs not always bad.
.edit
It doesnīt always get people going (looks/feels like waste of time) but you can be sure that if you are not on view at all then itīs quite probable that no-one knows or will know about you.
