This is also an area where I'm fine with recommending freemium solutions if they're the lowest barrier to entry option for new users, and "Use GitHub + Travis CI" qualifies on that front. The CPython repo hosting debate forced me to seriously consider when in someone's journey into open source and free software it makes sense to introduce the notion of "Free software needs free tools", and I came to the conclusion that in most cases the right answer is "After they discover the concept on their own and want to know more about it". My hard requirement is that folks using completely open source/free software stacks be *supported*, and that's not at risk here (since there are plenty of ways to run your own private build service).
