This is somewhere on my list of nice-to-have-in-future
improvements to our process. You'd need to have a human
in the loop because there are things we want to review
which the CI does not catch (mostly "does this look
sensible", "is this a request from a new submitter whose
work needs a second lookthrough") but that could be done
with some similar thing to the r=whoever comments some
other projects use. Then you could have "as long as 1
(or 2 during releases) senior maintainer acks the pullreq
it goes in" rules.

But right at the moment that's half a dozen steps in the
future and we need to get the basic CI stuff working
before we start looking at changing the workflow for
submaintainers.
