People seem to like this idea; I'm not quite sure I follow it.  If you 
just want the automated patch testing, you can do that on your own by 
setting up github/cirrus for your own account.  If you keep emailing the 
public your patches just because you don't want to set up your private 
testing tooling, that seems a bit abusive?

Are there other reasons why developers might want their patches 
registered in a parking lot?

We also need to consider that the cfbot/cirrus resources are limited. 
Whatever changes we make, we should make sure that they are prioritized 
well.
