Is that because Python is optional (like, we only use it for
optional Perforce thing and import-zip in contrib), or are there
other concerns?

Unlike these components, unit tests are not even for the end-user
consumers, so if it is Python that you find it a blocker, I do not
see a reason to reject it.  The thing looked like a simple script
that does not use any tricky language construct or modules.
