Here's a perl script (there's a similar python library AFAIK, and
possibly ruby too) that reports about things in the installer-team
repos.

  https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/branch2repo/-/blob/main/scripts/salsa-control-ci-checker

That script looks in each repo'debian/control file to see if there are
any non-udeb packages, and also looks at the ci_config_path to see if
it's set to vanilla branch2repo (which is only really appropriate for
pure udeb packages), and reports the ones that are wrong.

Seemed like it might be the sort of thing you're looing for.

If you just want to know if they're using CI, you could look for
ci_config_path being set, and if it is set to e.g. debian/salsa-ci.yml,
you could also check if such a file exists.

Cheers, Phil.
