The GitLab CI builds will mail me and the commit's pusher (but that's probably me considering the way GitLab handles repository mirrors) on build failures. If desired, I can add more email addresses and/or get mail sent for all builds whether successful or failed. Suggestions welcome. # If adding the lists, we need to find a way to subscribe (or exempt) # the address that generates these mails.
