I tried this with a PR the other day
(https://github.com/pkgsrc-ci/pkgsrc/pull/5) and found a couple
issues:

- the pkglint check failed even though pkglint run locally was happy (??)
- bootstrapping Go failed on FreeBSD 14. I actually fixed this at HEAD
by using the go-bin bootstrap.
- The OpenBSD runner could not fetch any files over SSL for some reason.

Still, this is super useful. Thanks for working on this.
