TMTOWTDI. :)

Putting the code in front of a bunch of people, each of whom has
experience & different ways of assessing it would be the "meta-way."

For example, Matt's Script Archive and its spawn have a certain stench
to them.  Then there's checking whether it's "strict clean," "warnings
clean," etc.
