### Describe the enhancement requested We don't have enough GitHub Actions capacity when we develop Crossbow. So using separated repository (and separated CI services such as Azure Pipelines and Travis CI) was reasonable. But we have enough GitHub Actions capacity recently. Can we reconsider the Crossbow approach? We may be able to use `on.workflow_dispatch` https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-when-your-workflow-runs/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_dispatch and `gh wokrflow run --ref` https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs-and-deployments/managing-workflow-runs/manually-running-a-workflow?tool=cli#running-a-workflow as an alternative of the current Crossbow approach. Some inconvenient points for the current Crossbow approach: * CI results use a GitHub comment ([example](flags)) instead of GitHub [status checks](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/collaborating-on-repositories-with-code-quality-features/about-status-checks). * It may cause a long history. * No direct link to artifacts. * Crossbow creates a new tag for each job and uses GitHub Release associated with the tag for artifacts. There is no direct link for the associated GitHub Release. * We can't use Dependabot for `dev/tasks/*/*.yml` * Difficult to automate job submission. * For example, we want to submit binary artifacts build jobs after source archive build is completed automatically in release process. * FYI: We already have `secrets.GITHUB_CROSSBOW_TOKEN` in apache/arrow GitHub Actions. So we will be able to implement it with the current Crossbow approach. * ... ### Component(s) Continuous Integration, Developer Tools -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
