Thanks for driving this. Text looks good to me.

Eventually there will be lengthy discussions about various tools (now 
reaching out for the popcorn bag). So you might want to tighten it some 
more by suggesting all the gitlab stuff (Wiki, CI pipelines) as possible 
tools. E.g. AFAIK the Wiki in gitlab is just a git repo of markdown files.

Regarding the test suite:
Would it be feasible to use Python for the job? If yes, you can directly 
use the unittest module from its standard lib which gives you much 
better control, error handling and reporting.

And I already enjoy using gitlab's CI runner stuff for this (but using 
static slapd.conf generated):
