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.
