IIUC, we don't need that. If the hook returns "success" (as it it
builds, or it's linear), the push is allowed. If not, it's blocked.

Yes, and I think a lot of people would want that, but we need to setup
some infrastructure to do that (Jenkins, Buildbots, etc) and that's
not trivial.

We'll leave it for later.
