I mean only that testers should be separate from developers.

Correct. Tester's job is to check that fix works. He may do a straight 
test but may also test it in the way that developer even could not 
imagine (offtopic: my wife usually does it like this and finds a lot of 
interesting things - she is perfect as tester).

As already was written, most people work on typo3 in their spare time. 
Sometimes it is a very little time, so people tend to spend it on fixing 
and not on testing fixes of others. This is why I think we need 
dedicated testing team. In fact, work of the testing team is not less 
but sometimes more important than work of development team. It is a 
special responsibility to say "it works".
