One thing I should have added is that my message is about what it
would take for me to use autotest and contribute tests.  But now I
realize that you might be going for a different model:

If you're aiming for a different model where autotest integrates
external test suites (i.e. tests wouldn't be written in autotest.git,
instead autotest.git would contain snapshots of external test suites),
then this proposal seems fine.  Upstream projects like QEMU would
develop their own test suite and it would be dropped into autotest or
a specific autotest instance.

I'm not 100% sure which of these two models you're going for?
