Today, gitlab-ci and cirrus-ci are entirely different systems: they
don't share any containers or any other artifacts. So my preference is
to have a separate entry in the MAINTAINERS file as Roger did in this
patch. That would be more accurate in terms of roles, responsibilities
and expectations. If someone sends a patch for .cirrus.yml, I definitely
think Roger should be the one to have a look. My recommendation is to go
ahead with this patch. We can always merge the sections in the future if
the CI systems become more integrated.
