I don't think that compiler warnings are an issue for distro maintainers
(unless they compile with -Werror), it's rather just a bad experience
for the users who compile the release tarballs on their own, and see
lots of "possible string overflow" warnings while comiling.

I'd rather say "no", it's too early for that, I consider the SCC
emulation not that mature yet that I want to make it so prominent.

Yes, that would be helpful. E.g. I think somebody still needs to  add
the SCSI settings there?

I regularly check most of that with gitlab CI, so we should be pretty
clean here, e.g.: https://gitlab.com/huth/hatari/pipelines/43157900
