Interesting, especially the filter. Thank you.
I noticed macports has azure and travis checks on PRs but run buildbot 
on commits.

I found out how buildbot themselves does it. The configuration is a bit 
convoluted.
The meta buildbot repository loads the travis plugin and configures it 
with a yaml file.
The travis integration automatically adds github status when it detects 
a github repo.
