Let me expand on that comment a bit.  It's great that you want to run a
CI instance (we already have one, but who knows, maybe this will catch
some problems our current instance does not).  It's also fine that you
want to run a mirror, or even (obviously) distribute modified versions
of notmuch.  The main point that many of us are sensitive about is
people confusing these modified versions (and yeah, I consider splitting
the repo modification) with the official one. The other point is that by
admining the "notmuch" project on github, you are somehow officially
representing the project to the outside world. Maybe if we get to know
you, and we develop the appropriate communications channels, we'd think
that would be a great idea, but it seems like too much to entrust to
somebody we just "met".
