Some time ago Ted Zlatanov proposed to use GitLab to improve the
development process:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-07/msg00937.html

GitLab could take care of running CI, because it runs CI when commits
gets pushed to it.

The GitLab Runner can be installed on a large number of platforms:

https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/

And the builds logs will be available on the GitLab installation.

I know several people on this list are not familiar with
GitLab/GitHub/BitBucket, that's why Ted asked
address@hidden if it was possible to run a GitLab
installation on FSF/GNU hardware, but I've never heard anything else
from it. 

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-07/msg01133.html

I think it could be really interesting to give GitLab a try in the Emacs
development workflow. And I am also willing to help to set this up.
