For what it is worth it (because I am not active in gitweb development):

We currently have no tests for the JavaScript in gitweb code; I am not
sure how one would go to add such tests (and whether it would be
possible while gitweb is part of git - if they need externel
dependencies like Node.js or Selenium they would need to be able to be
disabled or enabled with builld option).
