Stelian, I think there is something wrong with the reply you sent.
The Subject header is mangled in the Mailman archives where I spotted

FWIW, I didn't either. The display of the subject line on the mailman site may suggest why (I don't know):

I'd like to have something that gathers enough information to allow
building a suitable integration with continuous integration systems
(there are already a few ad-hoc ones around).

What exactly would that look like?

Don't a lot of these CI systems just rely on the exit status of a build step? I typically just wrap a trivial script around running the test-op from fiveam-asdf, and make lisp exit with a non-zero status when it encounters an error. That's been sufficient for me, but then I tend to just look at success or failure, and read the console output on failures. I don't do anything fancy like generate XML...
