That is true. CI is always external.
But you typically configure the repo to require those CIs passing
for a PR to become merge-able.

And don't get me wrong: I'm not advocating for github here.
I was just comparing with something I know better.
And if we could somehow tie the beefier CI with the core repo
and run it on every MR, that would be great.
But I probably need to read up on gitlab and it's ci etc.
