We can already link packages and test cases such that updates that
include those packages will always list those test cases:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_package_test_plan_creation

I believe there's possibly some kind of bug with the process of syncing
the wiki categories into Bodhi at present, I'm not totally sure of the
current status of that, but the mechanism is already there.

This isn't done yet. (And honestly, doing it in a simple-minded way
would be a bit tricky; do we really want, say, every update to glibc
listing pretty much every package-linked test case that exists?)

There really wouldn't be any 'tension' in adding the browser test case
to the firefox package categories, so we could just go ahead and do
that. Establishing links to *release criteria* - which is what you keep
saying, but then your example involves a test case and not a release
criterion, which confuses me a bit - is harder, because we don't really
have any representation of the release criteria which is easy to
interact with programmatically...
