You also get many eyes on your code, which may spot bugs that would be missed otherwise.  Additionally, ET members ensure that the code builds and runs successfully on a large number of machines for each ET release.  A recent example is the work done to make sure the PITT Null Code, a recent contribution, worked on a number of machines where it was failing.  Further, as part of the ET, the community will ensure that the code remains compatible with any possible changes in Cactus or other thorns that it depends on.  In other words, now that you have written the code, the community can help with the unglamorous "maintenance" that it requires.
