Being GitHub-native does make a few things easier, but there's no 
technical reason why it couldn't be done using the GitHub mirror, or a 
separate repository like I did last year with 
https://github.com/pkgsrc-ci/pkgsrc that was posted to the lists:

  https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2024/07/23/msg029644.html

or any other custom system like Jenkins etc that we run in-house.

The only reason is culture.  As Jason said there was little to no 
interest in the work I did last year, on which dreckly is based.  There 
were a grand total of 2 pull requests to test commits, one from you and 
one from Jason.  Same goes for the last 13 years of me offering to run 
bulk builds for any larger changes.  Nobody has asked me to perform any 
of those since Joerg left.
