But that wouldn't change needing to support an older gcc, nor change the "no breaking userspace" rule. CI won't run on every platform (nor all the different hardware that's out there). Random PRs will be just as ignored as random patches (probably more so if the idea is to increase the volume of contributions). A "build it and they will come" attitude only works if you're ready for the volume, if not (and based on the original discussion, the problem is lack of maintainer time), then it just adds more work.
