It needs to be faster. Mostly I do check the gitlab CI pipeline status, but in the run-up to getting rc0 out I stopped waiting for the gitlab CI job to finish, because I was continually finding that I kicked off a run, my local build-tests would complete within an hour or so, and the gitlab CI jobs were still pending, barely started, etc. Turnaround on testing a merge must be 90 minutes or less, especially during release periods, because there are always a huge number of merges that arrive for me to test in the last couple of days before freeze.
Perhaps we could script it so that if the pipeline passes the merge to master is done automatically.
