Thanks for proposing this topic.

Just a few random topics which come to mind we could discuss:

- blktests has gain a bit of traction and some folks run on regular
  basis these tests. Can we gather feedback from them, what is working
  good, what is not? Are there feature wishes?
- Do we need some sort of configuration tool which allows to setup a
  config? I'd still have a TODO to provide a config example with all
  knobs which influence blktests, but I wonder if we should go a step
  further here, e.g. something like kdevops has?
- Which area do we lack tests? Should we just add an initial simple
  tests for the missing areas, so the basic infra is there and thus
  lowering the bar for adding new tests?
- The recent addition of kmemleak shows it's a great idea to enable more
  of the kernel test infrastructure when running the tests. Are there
  more such things we could/should enable?
- I would like to hear from Shin'ichiro if he is happy how things
  are going? :)
