I don't see why. I think it's good if they run CI. Having forks not run CI by
default would imo take one of the main advantages of using github actions

Yes, they are too permissive by default, including on postgres/postgres.  I
think postgres/postgres isn't *that* threatened, but we should make things are
shored up anyway. Where it's really crucial is the postgresql-cfbot repo.
