You need people with the time and willingness to download, install and run production code on the releases. This might be getting off-topic, but maybe not as many people as you think. How many projects in pypi provide unittests? That's at least more tests to add to the ones already being run in the stdlib. -Devin

And who do you get to maintain all the new tests and buildbots you spawn from running hundreds of community projects unittests? How do you know those tests are real, and actually work? You quickly outstrip the ability of the core team to stay on top of it, and you run into issues in the past akin to the community build bots project.
