Also on the subject of the external travis job, what determines
when it runs? I would expect it to be run always, but if you look
at https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/pipelines
you can see that it didn't get run for the pipeline for
staging commit fc32b91a. It's not just "doesn't run for staging"
because it did run in the pipeline for staging ebd1f710.
