If there's some piece of QEMU you care about, start writing tests and

Not quite. It would be easier if we just set up some storage space with
images like the handful of *-test images on qemu.org.

It's not that simple.  We cannot just host an image on qemu.org without getting
into GPL considerations.  Even beyond the GPL, I don't think having opaque
images that people don't understand how to recreate if they need to is a good
strategy.

I've considered trying to do something based on automated installation (using
kickstart/preseed).  This has limitations though.  It takes an extremely long
time to generate these having the necessary hooks with preseeds appears to be
very difficult.

Isn't this kind of tool called autotest? I can't see a reason to
duplicate it if you really want to go for full-blown guests.

Yes, I should have added, "I couldn't think of a better way to do this than what autotest already does."
