This is something I would be interested in. I'm reasonably happy with
the "test" egg in CHICKEN and it's simple, but its implementation is
kinda messy and reporting is not so easily customizable (that I know of).
Having a portable test system would really ease cross-Scheme development,
and would make it easier to take tests from other Schemes for their basic
functionality.
It would also ease automated CI across Schemes, for example.

I personally don't care about R6RS. But why is "include" needed?
