I think it's pointless for anyone to host such a runner, as long as the
Haiku kernel can be made to crash by running simple programs in user-space [1].

I don't like it either, because
- the GNU project focuses on making releases as tarballs with configure
scripts,
- the skill level needed to build a package from a tarball is lower than
the skills needed to build from a git checkout.
