Jakub can answer this much better than I can, but I suspect the answer is "no". We hardly have any javascript at all, and I doubt the gitweb tests cover the javascript bits.

If there is going to be a javascript-heavy SoC project, I think part of that should probably be adding some automated testing infrastructure.
