It is also the opposite direction that we would need :). That is registering webhooks on github to trigger openqa, or in our case it would be registering a webhook on packit.

What we have with packit-testing-farm is that packit registers the webhook onto testing-farm so that testing-farm reports when it finishes. If we replace testing-farm with openqa we would need a webhook on openqa.

And yeah the more I contemplate, the less of a bad idea it seems to me to just wrap it around a tmt test. It is not much different than the current implementation right?
