Checking maintainer trees in addition to -next isn't going to be that
substantially faster except at weekends, the whole thing with -next is
that it gets built daily so depending on when patches appear in the
maintainer trees and how long -next takes to build you'll be running
tests less than two days earlier, the way people's timezones work out
it's often under a day for many maintainer trees.  It can reduce
turnaround time for the specific tree, and it can be useful for
identifying where problems come from, but on the other hand the
integration that -next offers is important, some critical stuff only
appears in -next and obviously each individual tree that gets covered
separately is more load on your systems and triage.

The key thing with -next is that it's a moving target so it's useful to
turn around results as fast as possible so they arrive before it gets
rebuilt, or if you've seen something on an older -next check that it's
still relevant when you do report it.
