This is something that is already happening a bit in Debian:
The Debian CD team are testing images before each release and point release.

At one point there was systematic testing of the secure boot stuff:

The LTS team have manualish testing of packages they fix security issues in:

The u-boot maintainer/users record the status of various uploads:
