Off topic, is it possible to receive mail notifications from Travis
when a fault is found in either 'pu', 'next' or 'master'? I know how
to do it in Jenkins, but I'm not familiar with Travis and there's no
obvious button from the web page..

I looked into this a bit for my personal builds. Notification config has
to go into the .travis.yml file[1].  So I think the best we could do is
send a notification email to some mailing list, and then let people
subscribe to that (or it could go to git@vger; I don't know how noisy it
would be).

A separate mailing list sounds like a very good idea to me!
Maybe "git-builds@vger.kernel.org" or something?
What would it take to set something up like this?

I suspect that emailing the vger admins is the right place (or that they
can point us in the right direction, or tell us to get lost). The best
address is probably postmaster@vger.kernel.org.

(I resisted just cc-ing them here to see if other people had opinions on
just sending the output to the regular list).

OK, I'll send them an email. I just realized a strong reason for a
separate mailing list: I haven't found a knob to make TravisCI
send plain text emails.
