Have you actually asked anyone to test it? Or even considered
*mentioning the names of the packages* so maybe someone here could help?

You're putting way more effort into complaining about testing being
required than it would actually take to get someone to perform the
required testing. I find this to be a poor use of your time and mine.

Chicken-and-egg problem. It turns out nobody does testing when it's
optional. So now it's not optional.

But take heart - if both packages are small and easy to test, surely
it'll be really easy to find someone to test them both.
