No, because all that automation is of course open sourced and freely shared with the rest of the world.

Funnily enough, the majority of it is open source - Jenkins is the big chunk of code, and does the builds and tests for us. I believe you can do the same with GitHub Actions, and I've seen projects use Azure Pipelines for the same job.

Fundamentally, just building code and generating issues if builds and/or tests fail isn't hard - and we do contribute our test cases to the libraries we use.
