That's a good idea, thank you.

Absolutely

No but that's not an issue, everyone scratches the itches he wants.

Not really.

There is no policy regarding Salsa CI in the Java Team, anyone who 
wishes to use it is free to do so. Personally, I do not because it 
doesn't add value to my workflow. I'm also not a fan of the IRC spam 
induced, and in times of energy sobriety I feel that's a non-essential 
tool we can do without.

Just keep the good work :)
