Sure, I did qualify my statement in the text before that quoted here
to say that the patchew would have to offer some compelling feature
over GitLab. If GitLab can't be made to work with non-x86 runners,
then clearly non-x86 portability is the compelling feature that would
make Patchew a sensible option for QEMU.

I don't know what the problems are wrt to aarch64 & GitLab but the
scheme for connecting new runners to GitLab CI looks pretty flexible
when I examined it, so I'd really hope non-x86 is not a show stopper.

Regards,
Daniel
