First of all, I apologize for the subject line change, but this really is a
different issue than the test repository itself.

It was started by George during last years GSOC. Zoe and Stefan were also
working on it after GSOC ended. Both Zoe and Stefan ran out of time and it
went dormant for a bit. I contacted Zoe about the status and offered to pick
it up, but I also offered to organize TestFest this year.

I really do want to do both but I can't do both at the same time as they
both will be big time sinks for a part time volunteer.

Solutions:

1. I continue to work on TestFest and then work on run-tests.php as soon as
the TestFest load lightens up enough to allow it.

2. Someone else picks up run-tests.php and I focus solely on TestFest.

3. Someone else picks up TestFest and I focus solely on run-tests.php.

My vote is option 1 as I really like both projects. But it wouldn't be fair
for me to slow either down if the need for both is pressing.
