It seems like there's at least one contributor like this proposal.

I've tweaked the commit message for the proposal and added a new patch to
advertise GitHub Actions to our friends.

With this series applied, we will trigger GitHub Actions CI for those branches
only:

- 5 integration branches: maint, master, next, jch, and pu
- Contributors' opted-in branches: 'for-ci/**'

    -    CI: GitHub: limit GitHub Action to intergration branches
    +    CI: limit GitHub Actions to designated branches
    +
    +    Git's maintainer usually don't have enough time to debug the failure of
    +    invidual feature branch, they usually want to look at intergration
    +    branches.
    +
    +    Contributors now can have GitHub Actions as an opt-in option,
    +    should they want to check their code, they will push into designated
    +    branch.
