I assume this has the function of the already-existing .gitlab-ci.yml file that Emacs already has in the master branch. That file is for GitLab continuous integration builds, whereas snapcraft.yaml would be for snap. This raises the issue: if we start supporting multiple CI platforms, perhaps we should put build-instruction files into a new directory (build-aux/ci, say), rather than cluttering the toplevel directory with such files. > 2.
