With CI it's tricky because that would IMO kinda imply that it would have to 
become a
first-class citizen rather than best effort (disclaimer: I have not looked at 
libvirt's CI for a
very long time so it probably changed a lot) which is easier in smaller 
teams/projects but rather
difficult in large projects unless the project has a dedicated CI engineer :) 
(maintaining an infra
for VMs is a huge part of the work).

Well, didn't you openly volunteer yourself to take up on the maintainer's role 
in your original
message? :)

Probably not the answer you were looking for, but I guess the silver lining 
might be that from my
time working on libvirt's CI I can tell you that whenever the thing was on 
fire, I had no
problems finding someone willing to review a CI fix.
