Hi Jim,

For gzip, I've now set up a continuous integration:
https://gitlab.com/gnu-gzip/ci-distcheck

If you want to co-maintain it with me, let me know your GitLab login name,
so that I can assign you the permissions.

While setting up this CI, I noticed two problems:

1) bootstrap.conf specifies that 'rsync' is needed. But rsync is not needed
any more by 'gnulib-tool' and by 'bootstrap' since 2018-10-07.
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=0ddd440d18af7bb10437642f12721d83092f0bea>

Patch attached.

2) The problem reported in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2023-01/msg00005.html
