Hi Waner, I'm sorry about your experience - I've had similar experiences that have caused me to take year-long breaks from the project and I'm sorry if I contributed to that for you. And I definitely deserved at least some of the snarkiness - my comments were unhelpful. Please let me know if there's something I can do to help with the PR work. We have some infrastructure for using GitHub Actions to drive our Morello (CHERI + FreeBSD) cluster and we'd happily accept (or, time permitting, make) changes that would make it more generally useful.
