kernelci's dashboard will already show you that stable releases have more testing than mainline: https://dashboard.kernelci.org/tree
One problem is that it's not always easy to know whether every line of C you've modified with a diff has seen a compiler zip through it, I think. From what I can tell, KConfig does not make it easy to get from a .c or a .diff to a list of KConfig symbols that need to be enabled in order for that .c/.diff to get built.
Having more automated testing fed into kernelci would definitely help as well; theoretically anyone can set up an automated lab for this. I plan to for some of my hardware when I get the time and energy to do so.
