Sure that's human nature, especially when people are volunteering their
time. I'm not expecting that people would test every feature. As we saw with
the ADC, people had test plans where they were expecting someone to sit down
for 40 minutes and I don't see anyone doing that. I'm thinking more of a
quick run through just to make sure that the application doesn't crash and
to verify that it looks okay (I guess that this is more than a lot of people
got from the ADC judging). So I'm expecting testing to be patchy.

I tend to agree, a little more so from the user community than from the
developer. Even the G1 App Market has an option for feedback directly to the
dev.
