+1.

We already have some test-only packages (for ci testing?), and one
more wouldn't really matter. It'd be nice to match the naming pattern.

I assume that 1) above would be be done with the sponsor/mentor doing

sponsor/mentor interaction.

This package should have multiple release branches, to exercise
multi-release updates.
