I missed to read if Alex volunteered for this task but am certainly
happy if he is :) Although this should be documented somewhere (who
to contact if the AArch64 runner starts to fail?).

Assuming Cleber's runner script is merged and working on the AArch64
runner, then we need to figure how contributors can use it.
Assuming this runner will be registered under the QEMU organization
namespace in Gitlab, then contributors would have to open a Merge
Request to trigger the CI jobs (similarly to when you push to the
/staging branch). Then we would cancel the MR. We can ask contributors
to cancel their MR once testing done.

Midway could be having maintainers opening such MR?

I have no idea, just asking questions to see if other have ideas or
see the big picture here.

Phil.
