We need to be careful with this to prevent packages with long-running test suites from causing a DoS on the infrastructure.I agree. Being able to allow longer timeouts on a per-package basis sounds like a good solution. Who would be the correct people to talk to about enabling such functionality?
An alternative that can be done now: the timeout of 2:47h is per test stanza in d/t/control (see autopkgtest(1). For some test suites it's not hard to split the test suite over multiple stanza. The overal timeout is 8.5h (except on riscv64 where it's currently doubled).
