Andre Hedrik has put together a site with exactly this intention, check out:

    http://linuxdiskcert.org/

Of course, there's a lot of hard work between here and having a useful

According to Andre:

"the requirements are they apply a patch run a series of tests and then I 
will submit to the OEM for rebutal and if there is no resolution the drive 
and the test procedure on how to reproduce the error will be posted"
