While I would vote this ballot option above FD, I think I prefer the one
I proposed because I think that a GR should focus on discussing the
general policy/spirit, not implementation details that can be fleshed
out later once the general policy is decided.

This adds arbitrary restrictions to personal workflows. What is the
problem with asking a local agent to commit and push to a branch (so
that it can later fetch and analyze salsa CI results)?

I don't think that this level of detail should be specified in a GR.
