Testers should spend their time testing that's what we are here for.
There is no such clear separation possible. Developers should be
testing their code and their packages as well. Handing this entirely
off to another set of people, whether it is a QA team or somebody
else, is just shifting blame. QA team or a additional set of people
are just complimenting the testing that the developers themselves
should have done.

Rahul you do see the flaw in this logic right?
For a developer to be able to test his code he needs to test on all
possible scenarios
hw and sw related repeated times the n option ( if any ) his application
can do.
Even in the perfect "my little pony" world
where there are million developers around a single component
with all the time in the world at their disposal which they then could
Document their code ( since him/they are the only one truly qualified to
do so )
Triage and respond to the reports
( Well there should not be any but if so unlikely it were, he/they are
the only one truly qualified to do so )
Test before release to the end user(s)
It STILL would fall into the hands of the QA to double check if he/they
missed something..
If the blame belongs somewhere than it is with the QA to have released
it to the end user in
the first place and THAT'S what I'm aiming at improving taking the QA on
the QA :)
but it will take time!.
But I do agree with you that it would help if he/they have
updates-testing enabled to test their
component that is if they are actually developing and using it on Fedora
GA release..
In reality we need more devs..
