As a user, I think it would be really cool if there was a requirement
that all infra and infra-adjacent stuff was free software.

I feel like I've read that Debian already has something like this. While
doing some quick searches I didn't find a full-on requirement, but all
their infra bits I did find were powered by free software. The most
relevant ones being buildd [1] and debci [2]. Additionally, the debci
docs has inctructions on reproducing tests yourself [3] which is a nice
extra IMO.
