Thanks for the vote of confidence to both of you, but my free time is
so limited that I could only do this if I stop doing all my other
chores related to Emacs.  Richard knows what those are, so he should
decide.

OTOH, producing a pretest is not a large job, and admin/make-tarball.txt
describes it very well, so it should be fairly simple for anyone with a
small amount of free time to do that.  No tricky knowledge is involved,
just some minimal diligence and attention to detail.
