Yeah. This would be the easiest change to make, because I already have configuration files, cfbot already knows how to talk to Appveyor to collect results, and the build results are public URLs. So I'm leaning towards this option in the short term, so that cfbot keeps working after December 31. We can always review the options later. Appveyor's free-for-open-source plan has no cap on minutes, but limits concurrent jobs to 1. Gitlab's free-for-open-source plan is based on metered CI minutes, but cfbot is a bit too greedy for the advertised limits. An annual allotment of 50,000 minutes would run out some time in February assuming we rebase each of ~250 branches every few days. GitHub Actions has very generous resource limits, nice UX and API, etc etc, so it's tempting, but its build log URLs can only be accessed by people with accounts. That limits their usefulness when discussing test failures on our public mailing list. I thought about teaching cfbot to pull down the build logs and host them on its own web server, but that feels like going against the grain.
