Another suggestion: since we have a "special, custom" testing page rather
than just a raw inventory thingie.. it might be nice to allow some kind of
"click here to say you tested it" button.
Not sure how or where it would store the info though.

Also note that if you decide to do this, it should track both the filename,
AND THE CHECKSUM, since in theory, maintainers could put a newer version of
a package, with the exact same filename, in testing.

Also, since the page is "public", it should allow feedback from
non-maintainers.
