Introduce a new 'V:' ("Verify") field to MAINTAINERS. The field accepts a name of a test suite which is required to be executed for each contribution to the subsystem.
Perhaps this is simply too much overhead process requirements for most kernel work.
While the addition of V: seems ok, I think putting the verification in checkpatch is odd at best and the verification of test execution should be a separate script.
Verifying that the expected tags are present and valid does seem firmly in what checkpatch's wheelhouse though?
