I personally tend to run initial builds and dep-8 tests locally, because 
when they fail, I have to re-run them manually to properly debug and fix 
the failures anyway.
(not to mention additional manual tests)

Also I do my LTS (security) work in a VM without access to my Debian 
credentials (gpg, ssh) so I can e.g. run various vulnerability PoCs and 
exploits with a reasonable peace of mind; which makes it inconvenient to 
push to Salsa.

I'd be interested in knowing how other LTS contributors handle those 
issues :)
