I spent today getting something working on Github just to try it out,
and started a new thread[1] about that. I've not tried Gitlab and
have no opinion about that; if someone has a working patch similar to
that, I'd definitely be interested to take a look. I've looked at
some others. For what cfbot is doing (namely: concentrating the work
of hundreds into one "account" via hundreds of branches), the spin-up
times and concurrency limits are a bit of a problem on many of them.
FWIW I think they're all wonderful for offering this service to open
source projects and I'm grateful that they do it!
