Hm... as long as we have permission to merge the MR after CI has 
passed, or to bypass the CI if it's broken due to a preexisting issue, 
then we should be good. However, I'm not sure GitLab allows this? E.g. 
we discovered yesterday that I didn't have permission to commit to 
gnome-remote-desktop until Jonas played with the settings; there, I had 
created a MR, but only project maintainers were able to merge it.

The worst-case scenario would be: need to revert a commit, CI is 
already broken due to some preexisting unrelated issue that we don't 
know how to fix, can't land revert via MR because it requires CI to 
pass, can't change the setting to allow bypassing CI because the only 
way to get permission to change the setting is to update the doap, 
can't update the doap without first passing CI....
