I can second that. When I was contributing to other projects[1][2], Travis helped a lot. Currently I have a cronjob to get https://scan.coverity.com/ running on Git a few times a week on the pu branch (plus $gmane/271826). Additionally to that I could setup a travis test to that, which would run daily on stefanbeller/pu (which would be a copy of junios pu branch). I just logged in to travis and it seems as if they don't require write access to the repository (any more? They used to require it, but now they ask for updated permissions which drops write access to a repository, but then asks for more meta data permissions, such as web hooks, my email address, my organizations). Having observed that there is no reason to not turn it on on the main repository (set it and forget it).
