Well, I think the former is more that I happen to legally be able to
and I have the hardware to run the tests. Its also not something that
can really happen in a distributed sense easily, so its pretty much a
one person job in some sense. I'm certainly not the only person who
can work on the fixes, although I have to be careful about what I post
in terms of code which demonstrates the problem. To be 100% on the safe
side I basically need to make up an example piece of code that
demonstrates the problem rather than post the code for the actual test
itself.

I hope that clarifies things a little.
