I agree, this task should fall squarely on your managers(or your colleagues' managers shoulders) This sounds like a case of another manager downloading their responsibility. The problem is some managers do not have the skill set to review the work, then they throw their staff under the bus when they are told that a team members work in not up to par. Usually by telling that team member "So and so says your not..." instead of listening to your opinion and then investigating the situation and dealing with it without bringing your name into it. It's a tough situation, You care about the company but don't like being the bad guy. If You don't deal with the problems there is a chance things will blow up. Depending on the size of the company maybe You can request being moved to another team, or put in for a promotion, your already doing the managers job from the sounds of it.
