I'm curious; do we have any interaction with the autotest project

http://autotest.kernel.org/ and test.kernel.org
test.kernel.org hasn't done anything since around 2.6.36 -- I think it was run by Martin Bligh (one of the autotest authors) when he worked at Google, but he's not there anymore and isn't working on autotest now.
There's a similar question as to whether autotest itself is still being developed. It does at least have some large industry users sending in patches, but there doesn't seem to have been a release in about a year, whereas point releases would previously come along once every couple of months.
It is still being developed, but it seems that the major focus is on qemu.
That said, I use an autotest instance here in my own lab which has worked quite well for me for working with embedded boards.
