These scripts are becoming more of nuisance, than a value-add; particularly since we've been building releases using Guix. Adding new (release bin) tests can be harder, because it requires constructing a failing test, which is becoming less easy e.g trying to disable a feature or protection that has been built into the compiler/toolchain by default. In the pre-Guix days, these were valuable to sanity-check the environment, because we were pulling that pre-built from Ubuntu, with little control. At this point, it's less clear what these scripts are (sanity) checking. Note that these also weren't completely ported to CMake (#31698), see also #31715 which contains other fixes that would be needed for these test-tests, to accomodate future changes.

Additional tools, including the github-merge.py script, are available in the maintainer-tools repository.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the github-merge.py script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
Build Tools and Keys
Packaging
The Debian subfolder contains the copyright file.
All other packaging related files can be found in the bitcoin-core/packaging repository.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Verify-Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.
