Thank you.

I'd like the measurement list to be self contained, allowing a
regression test, for example, to walk the measurement list, verifying
the file signatures stored in the measurement list based on the key
measurement(s).

It isn't so much about Kselftest, but implementing a regression test
(eg. Kselftest, LTP, ima-evm-utils, ...) as a PoC, in order to know
that the key measurement contains everything needed to identify the
key (eg. keyid, certificate serial number, ...) and verify file
signatures.
