The maintainer's fork will almost certainly not be against current
HEAD though. So test results from them will not be equivalent to
the tests that Peter normally does on staging, which reflects the
result of merging current HEAD + the pull request.

Sometimes that won't matter, but especially near freeze when we have
a high volume of pull requests, I think that's an important difference
to reduce risk of regressions.
