True, but that's back to my comment previously about what other projects do
- there's bound to be OS software out there that also has very limited
resources (most aren't supported by RedHat or IBM) yet manage a more
rigorous testing regime. What could be learnt from them? Staying within the
very-niche GIS world I know the GeoServer devs also complain about limited
resources (it appears to have far fewer committers than QGIS), yet they
have a unit-test requirement for all patches/commits and regular bugfix
releases. I know it's not like-for-like, but it's indicative of what might
be accomplished.

Kind regards,
Jonathan
