Find a way to improve the performance of our CIs. See https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]
The more time a PR is "green" the higher the likelihood it will be reviewed. Having a more performant CI infrastructure could help with our review bottleneck, and also make the experience for contributors less frustrating.
GDC is using Buildbot (https://buildbot.net/) for some of its CIs. I've been wondering if it might be less costly and more performant to create a distributed Buildbot CI for the dlang repositories, and allow community members volunteer their hardware resources to bring down the cost and increase the throughput of our testing.
