I’ll leave the review to Clément who volunteered to take a look at your
commits soon.  (He’s more familiar with Cuirass than I am.)

I think that’s fine for now.

I’d like to show more information in the future, such as build time, git
change that triggered the build, links to packages that depend on this
build (and packages that affect this build in case of a propagated
failure), etc.

You don’t need to know anything about the blog to prepare the post.  The
format is markdown.  Amirouche sent instructions on how to build the
website (including the blog), but you don’t need to play with this if
you don’t want to.  It would be sufficient to send the blog post draft
to Clément, Ludovic, and myself via email.  (Please don’t use Google
Docs.)  We would comment inline if any changes are needed.

Once approved I would publish it on your behalf.

Does this sound okay?
