I have to ask whether we *really* need to introduce yet another tag for
this.  How are we going to use this information?  Are we going to try to
make a tag for every way in which somebody might test a patch?

In general, I think
	Link: <to some url test result>
would be good enough.

And remember that all this goes stale after awhile
and that includes old test suites.

Yeah, things go stale, for sure. And Link: will work for specifying the test results (provided the contents says what the test was), but it doesn't help maintainers to know immediately which tests were executed and which weren't.

It also won't allow involving checkpatch.pl in checking the submitter ran all the required tests, and telling them to run whatever they didn't.
