How to perform Bluetooth SIG qualification of a Linux / BlueZ based product?

I feel that I can't see the forest for the trees...

I am in the process of performing Bluetooth SIG qualification of our first Bluetooth product. According to what I understand, an end user product (Core-Complete configuration) consists of a hardware (controller) part and a software (host) part. I already have a QDID from the controller vendor, but I feel unable to provide the QDID for Linux/BlueZ.

Of course I understand that Linux/BlueZ is open source, so there is no company behind for performing qualification (But I found one qualification for Zephyr OS made by Linux corporation).

So do I need to qualify the concrete version of Linux/BlueZ myself? How much effort would this cause? Google KI mentions a tool named "Bluetooth Launch Studio" for this, but visiting launchstudio.bluetooth.com redirects to the qualification workspace.

So how to obtain a proper QDID/DN for the host part of my product?

In the past each vendor used to qualify BlueZ by themselves as it normally involves a specific kernel and userspace version, we are discussing the possibility to have a generic host qualification for BlueZ under the BlueZ's steering group, the group is closed to only BT-SIG members though but Id be happy to add you if Arri is a BT-SIG member and is interested to join.
