Thank you. 

Github Actions is better in some ways and worse in others in comparison to Travis CI, but one thing it does very well is allow the CI to be everyone's responsibility. When you fork the repository, you can run GHAs in your fork, update them as necessary, and manage them like any other piece of code infrastructure in the project. This property improves the project's CI bus number, and I hope GDAL takes advantage of that.
