The general idea sounds good.
But that would make a pretty big wiki page, if we especially if we include big 
apps like LibreOffice & Postgresql.
Maybe link each bigger app to a standing bugz report for that purpose ?
It would be pretty hard to make even close to complete regression tests for 
bigger apps as well.  (imagine 599 tests for LibreOffice ...)
