[Patchew-devel] Use patchew to push successfully applied series to GitLab

Well, when pushing to gitlab anyway for CI runs this should be done
*before* publishing the patch series on the list ...

That part would still work (when posting patches after CI run finished).

Right now running CI in my user account fails though, with this:

95608:45:05 INFO | Fetching https://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l/linux-4.20.7-sunxi/linux-image-dev-sunxi_5.75_armhf.deb -> /builds/kraxel/qemu/avocado-cache/by_location/9b421efcfd044bf444a901be12757a1d9484ccbd/linux-image-dev-sunxi_5.75_armhf.deb.x38o9x5f
95708:45:05 INFO | Temporary asset file unavailable due to failed download attempt.
95808:45:05 ERROR| URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1056)>

Probably happens to work with the qemu project account due to the file being
in the avocado cache already.  Shouldn't avocado be able to handle this better
btw, now that it supports a separate "download assets" step?

take care,
