Agreed. Also, if you do want to park a patch in the commitfest, setting
it to "Waiting on Author" is effectively that.

I used to add patches to the commitfest to run CFBot on them, but some
time back I bit the bullet and set up github/cirrus to run on my own
github repository. I highly recommend that. It only takes a few clicks,
and the user experience is much better: push a branch to my own github
repository, and cirrus CI runs automatically.
