Title: CI for feature branches, too

I've been frustrated that I haven't been able to get CI for my feature branches till *after* I issue a pull request.
These deleted lines were the cause.

Presumably it was to prevent IRC notification from forks' feature branches.
Was it a real, observed problem?
If not, I'd like to test the hypothesis that it was a premature optimization.
