Yes.

True.

I think the code and architecture of the software that handles presubmit,
mail-list scanning, notifications, etc. would be of interest.  But KUnit 
features
themselves (macro definitions, mocking vs. faking, etc.) would not. 
I only say that in the context of CC-ing the automated testing list on the 
patch set.
Of course the KUnit features are interesting by themselves for testers doing
unit testing.
