I'd explicitly state something about reporting bugs for things that don't work. It should be obvious, but being explicit rarely hurts. As I tell my friends who refuse to file bugs: "They can't fix it if they don't know its broke".
Yeah. But I'd rather not scare them with bugzilla, so how about this:
4. For each app you test, add a test report into Wine's AppDB. Since you're only testing apps that were rated as platinum, it should work perfectly, even for people who don't know a commandline from a kumquat. If it doesn't work perfectly from start to finish, rate it no higher than gold. Now, if this was just a misrated application, you're done. But if you can verify that it actually worked great in an earlier version of wine, you've found a regression! In that case, please post a message whose subject starts with 'regression:' in the wine forum (or the wine-users mailing list), or file a bug at bugs.winehq.org.
Now, that text is too long, but you get the idea. How's it sound now?
