Lightning Network Integration

What is the current roadmap for LN integrating into mainnet? Is that even the end goal? I know that traditional changes to Bitcoin Core are imposed via democratically nominated BIP’s, will LN be integrated this way? Feel free to rephrase my questions if they are worded poorly.

On a somewhat unrelated note, who hosts the testnet? Are the coins on testnet valueless? If so, is this a result of low difficulty POW, or some other reason?

Another somewhat unrelated note, how is the lifecycle of something like a github commit or PR different for the Bitcoin Core codebase? To be more specific, how does a code change go from PR —> BIP —> implementation on mainnet?
