OK. Just let us know if nothing will happen after a time span that fits
your plan.

Something like this. Anything that would proof that the package works
as expected is useful. Finally its your decision whether the effort is
worth but I also think that such a small test could also serve as good

I can not see any issue and the publication info is properly rendered at
the tasks page:

Looks fine for me. Just let us know if you do not get any answer from
the yaml-cpp maintainer.
Thanks for your work on this
