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

[Arian van Putten]

Thanks for the example Carter.

I've been struggling with Servant's CI since the recent Travis changes as
CI now somtimes takes up to multiple hours to complete.

It would be awesome if somebody would volunteer adding a Github or Gitlab
backend to haskell-ci; such that I do not have to re-invent the entire CI
systems that is in place currently from scratch though.  Killer feature for
us is the parsing of `Tested-With` in cabal files to adjust the build
matrix; as e.g. not all our packages for on GHCJS for example.

However  your example doesn't look that complicated. I'm going to play
around with it.
