In the same way that if I participate in a Microsoft beta program, and I
tell them that the beta looks solid, that doesn't imply anything about any
support I'm willing, ready and able to contribute, it's the same in a
community-driven project.

I think you're mixing apples and pears here.
M$ don't ask for a vote before they release stuff, they make a call based on
the number and type of open bugs, so it's a different quality scoring
mechanism. They also make it very clear that they are going to provide
support and that users should not try and roll their own fixes to problems.
We could always switch to holding off releases until we have 0 bugs of major
and above level :) (if we did that then we should do the M$ thing and switch
the default JIRA level to be the lowest possible and let the user upgrade it
rather than everything going in as Major by default).
