That is $4200 a year. That is a lot. I’d be interesting in what you hear on the
Boost.Dev list. How much pain is there from this?

I reached out to Travis and they said they can’t increase our job limits
for free. I did argue with them on the basis that we’re just transferring
repositories to the Boost organization for ease of maintenance instead of
maintaining forks (in which case the limits for individual developers would
apply for each library), but no cigar. The essence of their response is two
things:
- The smallest package we can get includes 10 extra concurrent jobs,
effectively raising the limit to 15, for $500/month, paid annually and in
advance.
- They can offer us a 30% discount since we’re a non-profit.
Is there a desire (and sufficient funds) to do this? I suggest we float the
idea on the Boost.Dev mailing list to see if the job delays are annoying other
developers, and if so, then this avenue can be considered further.
