[Qgis-psc] [QGIS-Developer] Direct push forbidden to master

[Nathan Woodrow]

I agree with Even.  The issue here is the slow CI builds and lack of
Windows CI builds.
To make this process smoother and more solid for everyone we need to invest
in better CI not pretend we can just ignore it for the sake of getting a
commit in..
