I think that the first problem is that this patch series is an
inappropriate method and place to start the discussion.

I also think this gets things backwards as the common case is "make",
not "buildman". We need more defconfig's that are just base +
fragment(s) if they're important enough to be a combination that needs
to be tested and work. A board is not a time-expensive part of CI. A
pytest run is, a new job itself is.
