How we specify our minimum requirements across the various LLVM projects is something we need to discuss with a wide audience, and is a technical matter. We definitely don't do a good job now, either with the specification or the testing, in this regard.

I agree. Though, that question depends on how the foundation will
help. Thus, why I started here.

The technical side of it is really minimal. If we get enough hardware,
then tracking largely means "we're building all relevant sub-projects
in these environments already". If not, than this will need help from
the community and can be complicated.

The main question for llvm-dev is "What do we consider 'relevant'?"
(which also can change, depending on hardware investments).
