I think you should make sure it compiles and runs with some fairly 
standard sim configs, and that at least the basic features work (come 
out of estop, home, jog, mdi, run programs, single step). I'd consider 
that a basic "good enough to ship" test.

Then of course the maintainer's main responsibility is to respond to 
feedback from users and fix bugs as needed. Though based on the lack of 
feedback for the past many years, I don't think those UIs have a lot of 
users.
