Are you batching pull requests? I used that approach last release

pull request. Batching worked well overall.
No, I just do one test per pullreq. IME the CI is flaky
enough that I don't really want to batch it up, and it
isn't so slow that I build up a backlog of unprocessed
requests.
Just an idea: Maybe you could at least batch up the PRs from the people who
have their repo on gitlab.com and already use the gitlab CI? ... in those
cases you can be pretty sure that at least a huge part should pass the CI.
(and if you're worried about the non-x86 hosts, you could ask the
maintainers to supply an URL to Travis builds, too - we still have the
possibility to test s390x, ppc64le and aarch64 there)
