thinking more about it...
maybe what we actually need is someone with a wide enough knowledge of the 
codebase, that continuously uses master and tests, poking people when 
regressions happen? (especially in areas far from what one usually works in, 
since for own area "proximity blindness" can happen) this kindof happens 
already, but there isn't anythng "formal "about it

it would be something not fun to do at all, but perhaps is kinda needed?
a figure that help the release manager?
