The bot I'm writing is about 50 lines of code[1] but I'd like to go in the right direction from the start, even before actually getting a gerrit repository for it ;-)

It has only been 24h ;-)

Yes. IIRC jenkins & jjb were abandonned recently and OpenStack CI now runs solely on Zuul.

These are great pointers ! I'm exploring https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/CICF now and reading the docs. I think I can figure out how operations-docker-images-toollabs-images/blob/master/tox.ini is run and also what installs the system requirements (docker, mediawiki instance etc.).

Thanks :-)
