A suggestion which passed by on the OpenEmbedded M.L. recently that might
fit into that discussion:

On the 'Tested-by:' attribute (if used) then adding a classification of
what that testing covered or did not cover (whichever is most informative).
I.E:

Tested-by: J. Q. Public
Coverage: HP, PA-RISC only
or
Coverage-needed: World

Examples above are invented only to display the coverage attribute names.
