+1 to more Salsa CI runner resources.

Generally though, Salsa CI is pretty underpowered, which definitely
slows down my Debian work. Running the Lintian testsuite (which is a
requirement to merge contributions) frequently takes more than 2 hours
to run. On my local machine at home, it takes around 4 minutes :(

What?  Do you have a pointer to a job where this happen?  Are you sure
you don't confuse queueing time with running time?  Salsa CI queueing
time can be hours/days for the last few days, but my experience is that
runtime is fairly okay once the job starts.

The Lintian testsuite is pretty big (it builds ~1500 Debian packages and then runs Lintian on each of them) and the more CPU cores available, the fastest it is...

You'll find many examples of actual pipeline runtimes over 2h here: https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/pipelines
