https://kernelci.org is a Linux Foundation project; there are others, but that's just the main one I know of offhand.

The idea that "not being nice" is necessary is plainly ridiculous, but this post is pretty wild--effectively you're implying that they're just amateurs or something and that this is a novel idea nobody's considered, while billions and billions of dollars of business run atop Linux-powered systems.

What they don't do is hand over CI resources to randos submitting patches. That's why kernel developers receive and process those patches.
