Well, Leica M refers to the system, not Leica. I don't see the point of testing native Leica lenses other than on the M9 for the reasons you mentioned.
One of the upcoming tests will cover the Voigtlander Heliar 75mm f/1.8 for instance. It is an affordable lens - and a very good one on the NEX7. Voigtlander tests have been pretty popular actually.
However, testing discontinued MF SLR lenses will not happen on NEX. Sorry. We just can't stretch our resources so far.

Thanks, Klaus. Good to hear the clarification and news of the Voigtlander test.
I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was asking for tests of Hasselblad lenses on the NEX-7. That was not in my mind at all, even though I tried one, that was only because I already had that lens.
I was just asking for tests of lenses like the Voigtlander and lenses that are available in a variety of mounts. With the so-so quality of Sony's lenses on the Nex-7, I think all Nex-7 owners are looking for better quality lenses and your site is the only place I have found where such tests are even conceivable.
Many thanks for all you do, it's great work.
