I imagine in the end it would be better to put some of the faster checks
into the git hook pipeline itself. For example, reject commits at push
time that are missing DIST entries. 

Since I'm not familiar with the infra setup all I can do is provide
support if it's feasible and someone wants to implement this using
pkgcore/pkgcheck similar to what the CI stuff already does.
