That's a nice initiatitve. Overall I feel like (global) future CI checks
should be discussed first, because they affect everyone who's
committing, and it feels weird starting to suddenly receive mails about
things you've pushed a hundred times before. As seen by the evergrowing
list of new warnings, people just start to ignore these new checks or
"fix it on next version bump", because knowledge wasn't there on a
previous one.
