When an external contributor submits a PR, CI builds are on hold until manually authorized by a team member. This complicates external contributions as we won't know the build outcome for a long time. Is there a way to alleviate this pain?

PS: Out of curiosity, why did you choose CircleCI over GitHub Actions?

We're working on a process to run CI for high volume contributors.

For CircleCI vs. GitHub Actions: I don't have an answer for you here, unfortunately!

Any progress? This is the biggest pain point of contributing to Pkl.

Would you accept a PR that moves from CircleCI to GitHub Actions? 🤔

This would be a significant step forward for contributors, enabling them to

run GitHub Actions on their Pkl forks
contribute CI improvements such as #225 (which for some reason isn't moving forward)

I've noticed that some Apple OSS projects already use GitHub Actions.
