Dear Python sig.

Someone can you help to promote for the upstream Python project to use
gcc-8 on the Travis CI test?
Right now the project has 4 test cases [1] including defaut gcc
version 4.8 cases on Travis CI.

However technically it is possible to use gcc-N (4.8, 5, 6, 7, 8, and
etc) on Travis CI.
I think that using the latest version gcc-8 on the upstream project is
quite beneficial for us.
Because maybe we Fedora people are working to fix new version gcc's issues.
When the python project start to use gcc-8, it is easy to share the
situation publicly outside of Fedora, and of course they can help to
check the issues.
As I checked the Python project's .travis.yml, I had no idea about how
to add gcc-8 case. ;(

I can show you 2 cases to use the technique as an example. [2][3]
