I can provide the backport for this.

But instead:

Since Travis is almost unusable, 20.11 stable maintainers won't be
able to run non regression tests.
I would recommend backporting GHA support in 20.11.

Another thing is that the 20.11 does not have ABI checks enabled.
At the moment, backports are easy and won't break ABI, but later, once
v21.11 is out, we must be careful not to backport anything breaking
ABI.


I did the test, cherry-picking needed patches for the suggestions above.
