As far as i understand, this should be a task done by the association. 
this would improve the quality and trust in typo3 so much more.

maybe you should contact michael stucki on this issue. he announced the 
"zap" initiave. it would be good start to get all that stuff into the 
upcomming release and keep an eye on that backporting thoughs as far as 
possible.

in my experience quality management is very unsexy to all developers. 
they are more keen on new features and apis and not in maintenance. 
(this applies to a lot of open source projects beside typo3).

how could we improve that?

greetings,

ps: as far as i reckon you are not selfish, since you have taken 
initiative already with your mitka.us website. keep pushing.
