I will! I think it could be a Good Thing or at least a Useful Thing for
both kmod packages and dkms payloads. Of course, I also see the
potential for abuse here... Sketchy kmods or dkms payloads could
potentially wreak havoc on kernel installs if they cause a hang or failure.

I'd be happy to take a crack at implementation.
