Ah, I see. My assumption was that this was all stuff that you were
working on, so that I would then be able to test that it worked correctly,
not that I would need to do configuration of the gitlab.com setup.
I thought all the stuff about "how to set up runners" was only for
people who wanted to set up some 3rd-party CI for non-official
forks or for when we wanted to add extra runners in future (eg for
architectures not yet covered). So the only thing I did was follow
your "just push to staging" instructions.
