I like the overall goal, but I'm not wild about having another CI
provider. That requires people logging in there, and then dealing with
possible credit overages, etc.

I wonder what the timeline is for GitHub Actions getting arm64 support.
It looks like there are images for linux/arm64, but no runners yet,
according to:

  https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/5631

You can point it at your own runners, and some people in that thread
mentioned a third-party service which provides arm machines. That
doesn't get out of the "oops, credits" handling, but it would at least
keep the CI results all together.

I dunno. Another option I saw suggested is using qemu within a regular
GitHub runner. I have no idea if that would be painfully slow or what,
but it looks like people have even written actions to handle it:
