We could allow longer timeouts on a per-package basis and on maintainer
request, like we handle having packages tested with KVM instead of
containers.

This would need the code to actually support this to be written first,
though. We need to be careful with this to prevent packages with
long-running test suites from causing a DoS on the infrastructure.

Yes, I agree.
