Description
We have to figure out how to do it, but it can be really helpful.
The heuristic was introduced in https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug/pull/6002.
In the local case, we want only the relevant tests though, not all of gtest/cppunit/rusttests.

Research direction
Start by reading pull request 6002, where the gtest/cppunit/rusttests heuristic was introduced, then trace how local test selection is performed. The work is done when local selection applies the heuristic to identify only relevant tests rather than all tests in those groups.
