We probably just crossed E-Mails, but it would be good to know if your
assessment that they're "largely unrelated" is before or after seeing
the numbers I noted at
https://lore.kernel.org/git/220526.86leuo5f2g.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/

I.e. that it improves the performance of js/ci-github-workflow-markup by
~20%. That's the reason I originally looked at combining the two,
because that series was doing a lot of work to re-implement features we
could get "natively" in the GitHub CI if we just split certain things by
steps, instead of dividing those same things with the "group" output.

There's a few other things where they combine
nicely. E.g. js/ci-github-workflow-markup contains its own mini-version
re-invention of ci/print-test-failures.sh, in the combined version it
can just use that (adjusted) script to get the same output.
