Anyone already can and do using OpenBenchmarking.org.
Community please test Game xyz with profile abc in resolution FGH. You would then be able to aggregate the results and offer commented "swarm benchmarks results".

That could really work, if you would orchestrate things a little. Why don't you try something like:

Ubuntu is fine. Might be nice it were a combo. Ubuntu (for novices or the ignorant), OpenSuse Tumbleweed (view of what's to come), CentOS "latest" (yestetday's predominent player in the enterprise). Noting that both the latter two can be very different from Ubuntu and tend to reveal problems with OpenBenchmark and it's documentation. If just "gaming", you can skip the CentOS runs. Obviously Tumbleweed is hit or miss on the gaming front especially for proprietary drivers (but ok for latest open source drivers... without doing custom work against something like Ubuntu).
Just my two cents. Friends don't let friends run Ubuntu... but we're kind of used to seeing it. I can "translate" if it stays the "only one".

Debian won't add support for Ubuntu PPAs, because Launchpad need to add support for Debian first - it does not work the opposite way . Things need to be builded in proper Debian enviroment to qualify to be added and to can be recommended...
meanwhile no one sane advise you to use Ubuntu's PPAs on Debian as is

I'm not a very sane person.

I'm late to the party as usual... I'd say testing the latest Ubuntu AND Fedora would provide the best overall coverage for most. My particular interest is servers, but my primary personal desktop right now is Fedora. But in the past I've often recommended Ubuntu to others. Depending on what you're measuring, results can diverge: like Ubuntu using x.org and Fedora with Wayland. Of course if the particular benchmark wouldn't show a significant difference, I can't see any problem with publishing only the Ubuntu results.
