Having tests will be a great argument to become the new upstream
Our situation is different from that of any linux distribution that wants to provide the tools (which we encourage any distro to do), since what we provide is a RPM that contains an ISO that itself contains DEBs, RPMs, and others. It's not something we can easily build in our build system, koji (though there may be a way to manage it). So we've get to automate that build process.
This weekend I was able to finish the first tool I needed to help streamline the process of testing and building these tools. Its something I'm just calling PRT(Parallel Remote Terminal) for now. I currently have a number of testbeds in my cluster but testing manually on each is a huge pain. PRT is a tool that allows a user to define a group of remote hosts using a yaml file, then send the same command in parallel to each host. PRT returns the connection status, output, and errors on each host directly back to your machine. I hope you won't judge too hard on the quality of my code and docs because this was built in space of 48 hours lol.

I'll clean this up and improve it over the coming weeks but obviously, this is just tooling to help facilitate the actual work of improving these tools.
