At least I assume that you are able to judge your own code... at least

It is *hard* issue for not-so-developed coder like me (and probably some
others) to 'comment' code. Of course I can read any code and say that it's
allright, but what does that matter? Nothing. We cannot trust anyone's
comments anyway.

Testing is another job, and that's something I can help with. But always
it's not so easy either (like patches like attributes that don't show
anything radical yet...:)).
