QEMU CI config as of a few months ago, pushing to gitlab will *not* start
CI pipelines. You need to explicitly use opt-in to it when pushing by
using 'git push -o ci.variable=QEMU_CI=1' to create a pipeline with all
jobs manual or QEMU_CI=2 to create a pipeline and immediately run all jobs.
Alternatively use the web UI to start the pipeline, again setting QEMU_CI=1|2
So don't let CI minutes concerns dissuade from pushing to gitlab merely to
publish the code.

With regards,
Daniel
