Just wanted to point out this wouldn't help much for the "fast CI only
for the GNOME group" scenario. The CI for merge requests still runs in
the forked projects.

It seems this feature isn't enabled for our instance. The
documentation says that it "can be enabled for self-hosted GitLab
instances using the diff_suggestions feature flag. It will be enabled
by default for self-hosted instances in GitLab 11.7."
