Lenstip as well as SLRgear are through with this lens. You are waiting for a "we too" from PZ?

Hi Sammy, while there is a point to what you write, the reasons why are obvious and have been discussed.
dpreview also went through periods of not producing much due to relocation/office moves. They are still going strong.
Lenses have a longer live cycle than cameras - a bit of delay is not so critical. With that in mind, having a reasonably complete back catalog of test is important to answer questions of whether to buy an older version instead of the current.
Also I feel a "we too" is important. I typically confirm with a number of sites whether or not they do or do not get compatible results.
In the end it is photozone. I invested a fair amount of time over the years to discuss matters (and ask highly critical questions) with the team here. I feel from all the tests you quote I understand best what these numbers mean and what they do not mean.
In summary, I feel you could be a bit more welcoming, but that might just be my view.
Have a good day
