Either would imply some organizational approval, I think.

Or else I would be re-sending build results emails with URLs pointing to 
CircleCI from my personal email to some official Emacs mailing list, 
and... well, either we as a project approve of that kind of integration, 
or we don't. I certainly don't need anybody coming around and blaming me 
as supporting proprietary platforms this way.

On pushes. It might be not apparent from the web interface, but the 
Gitlab CI skips intermediate commits for, say, efficiency reasons.

It's common practice, IME.
