GitHub being proprietary does not really matter -- we can migrate to
any other similar service quite easily (even a kernel.org-hosted one!,
e.g. a hosted GitLab instance).

Sure -- that is why the bot does not depend on any "advanced" or
GitHub-specific feature: currently it only needs to read
commits/PR/messages and post messages (i.e. the same as your bot),
which is basic functionality that any GitHub/GitLab/...-like service
must provide.

Miguel
