I think for this to be successful, you'd have to define exactly what the
required testing *is*.

Are these simple installation smoketests? Installation and boot? How big
is the test matrix? What is considered a pass and what is not? Across
which machine types and which architectures?

etc.

There's probably people willing to at least do boot tests for some of
these, but I doubt there's much interest in doing anything more rigorous
than that.
