[Haskell-cafe] Psa : perhaps time for maintainers to start migrating off Travis ci

[Carter Schonwald]

this mirrors my current understanding of all the choices myself, and it

which  absolutely makes sense given their various corporate structures (GH
actions is a path to folks perhaps wanting to use azure services more
organically? )
