I've looked at it and we have the 'integration' activated in Github
UI. Pull requests are also being built:
https://travis-ci.org/gnustep/libs-base/pull_requests

At this point, I wonder what else could be done?

(Other than the existing setup for libs-base, I would leave
configuration of each repository to individual packagers.)

We currently don't have a markdown based readme, but there's also a
question about whether there would be pushback for promoting Travis.

Consider that Github is a temporary stop for us, anyway.

Modern enough. I would, however, assume that 'apt-get install'ing a
newer GCC isn't a big issue.
