This makes me think that it would be nice if you or others interested
in the "Move existing tests to a unit testing framework" project could
review Luma's patches that haven't been reviewed and merged yet. See
the "Key Achievements" in
https://lumap.gitlab.io/posts/outreachy-internship-conclusion for
pointers to the patches.

Thanks for updating your proposal anyway. Except for the typo above,
all the changes LGTM.
