Improvements to the FreeBSD CI/CD systems

I wonder which CI system specially is being used or considered.

And CIing ports sound like a big undertaking.

I'm looking forward to a writeup, in particular comparing the proposed new system to what FreeBSD has today (which I don't know anything about), and how the tradeoffs between the various possible new systems was made. I think it will be a learning experience for me.

I'm pretty sure they're using a Jenkins CI (devel/jenkins). When I look at https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ci, the Jenkins CI is still having jobs added to it.

A Jenkins instance can definitely cooperate with instances from other CI systems/brands, which is probably why I'm seeing at least a couple other CI brands mentioned.
