I think the general public is too lazy to test a new version every day.  
The snapshots just before a release will probably get more testing if they 
are advertised appropriately, i.e. not lost in the background noise.

It may be a good thing that you get few responses.  :-)  People have the
(depressing?) habit of not reporting successes.  Hard to know if that is 
the case, of course.

It may also help to have a (low volume) announcement mailing list for
announcing release candidates as well as releases.

The Linux release "system" has lots of problem, no doubt.  One recent good
thing was the introduction of release candidates.  (I know it's nothing
new in other projects.)  Ideally, there will be no changes from the
release candidate to the real release.

Good point.  I'll add my patches there if I decide to stay.
