Every package maintainer I know of does. But there isn't a single
package maintainer that has a 100% test setup that covers all of the
various ways in which their code is used. Maintainer testing should be
considered good, but *never* sufficient for release testing. There
needs to be more done.

This is backwards IMO. Testing after the release results in exactly
what I mentioned in my email. The right time to test is during the
release process, not after it is already complete.
