I've looked at "Installed Tests" and GnomeOSTree a bit and it looks like good stuff, it's great that you execute this upstream.

That's right, we haven't done a good job in supporting arbitrary third-party tests in AutoQA and we would like to fix it with a new system called TaskBot. Tim Flink is the person standing behind it at the moment.

It means we can't, unfortunately, execute these tests in Fedora infra at the moment (unless we want to do it in build time in Koji), but we would very much like to support these use cases in the future. Thanks for sending us the links. Maybe we can re-use some parts or ideas of your system in our TaskBot, that would be great.
