Interesting idea, do you want to create an MR implementing it?

That breaks Marge Bot.

That should be pretty easy, see Mesa and
https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html.
Something like this should work:

  rules:
    - if: '$CI_PROJECT_NAMESPACE != "gstreamer"'
      when: never

This is another interesting idea we could consider for Mesa as well. It
would however require (mostly) banning direct pushes to the main repository.

That would again break Marge Bot.
