    + overall numbers are not too bad, but 100+ aborted builds on Windows
    + JMux’s help: less aborts, but still not perfect
      + the problematic commit did pass Jenkins, so it was not obvious (Cloph)
    + reduced timeout → faster abort
  + raw git push, would it make sense to disable that? (Stephan)
    + already done for libreoffice-x-y
    + can always put Verified+1 on gerrit itself still
    + this would be for the majority of committers, but admins could still bypass
    + can’t remember any valid reason (Thorsten)
      + limit this to core only? (Cloph)
      + probably safer for core only (consider DLP, translations) (Thorsten, Stephan)
AI: restrict master direct pushes in core.git, enforce going via gerrit (Cloph)
