Sure, I can do it.

I'll start by resurrecting the now ancient RFC that contains a lot of
proposals with regards to the process, in light of the current status
and developments:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-12/msg00231.html

IMO we can start with documentation (either at ci.rst, or preferably
in the WIKI for now) for the process of onboarding new CI runners, and
track it with issues in GitLab itself.  I'll formalize those opinions.
