The tests you did, what exaclty was tested?

If it was to just ensure no regressions, then that information is
useful too, and with that you can just provide: Tested-by.

But actual details of what you test are useful. We now also have
automation of tests for modules, and expanding test coverage on that is
always welcomed too [0] [1] [2], so far we have 0 Rust coverage.
