Oracle/sun => Java, Novell => Mono, the Mozilla Foundation => Firefox, and so on. If you give a look to the emails of the maintainers, you'll see big company names more often than not. Thse companies often dedicate ressources to work full time on these projects. As a consequence, a lot of high profile open source softwares get as much attention as a lot of other software projects. Test coverage in particular is often a field which is addressed very early in the open source development cycle (see the regression tests of gcc, or those for PostgreSQL). When test coverage is not considered as a priority, you can also count on the community to find bugs for you. Yep those are the only projects that tend to approach real world utility, the ones that have a company with money and a business model behind them. Unfortunately I can't think of any such projects / companies that are directly relevant to game development.
