I think this is great.  Thank you for kicking this off.

A very minor thing: I think we should namespace this a little bit, given
that other hosting services might have their own mechanisms for what we
want to do here, and that this requires a tag in at least the github
mirror.  (I don't know if it's sensible to have a tag in the github
mirror but not upstream; if so, that would also work).  I know it's a
bit bikesheddy, but github-latest-dev or something would constrain us
less in the future.

I would love to hear whether this would help any other users with testing
what they're doing with tip-of-tree SBCL, or what else would be needed
to make this useful.

Thank you again,

Christophe
