I think this looks overall good. Just do something about that GHA link and I'm perfectly happy! :)

doc/testing.md line 95:

I don't think the link to the `.github` directory makes sense here. If there should be a link at all, it should point to information on how GHA works and how to enable these. And frankly I'm not sure if any such comprehensive documentation exists. :-( Perhaps in the Skara wiki? Otherwise the link is just distracting.
