I don't think requiring all human maintainers to do more manual repetitive work, which is not well defined and even without a way to really require something from them is scalable nor reliable nor the right approach. We would consume something like LKGR [1] if it existed for the kernel. But it would require tighter integration of testing systems with kernel dev processes, or of course throwing more manual labor at it to track all uncoordinated testing systems and publishing LKGR tags.
