Milestone 2023.2: Improve our Development & Testing infrastructure to meet engineering standards

[laurentsenta]

eta: 2023-03
description:
Testground proved itself valuable multiple times over the years. However, now we need bulletproof development processes to make the project sustainable and facilitate external contributions.

Extra care is taken on Testing and Stability: we are building a testing platform, and Testground's testing must be impeccable.

(creating this one as a base for discussion before creating every other root milestones)

I think we want to create "official" github milestones.
