We already has travis-CI for basic CI, why introduce another one ?
There are a few reasons.
System:
OS: macOS 10.15.1
CPU: (4) x64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v2 @ 3.50GHz
Memory: 8.21 GB / 12.00 GB
We already has Github actions in https://github.com/cjihrig/uvwasi and https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp.
Even if we decide to maintain travis and github actions simultaneously (which is very common), still worth it.

Github actions has better github integrations. Travis CI has to be enabled by project maintainer.Like https://github.com/nodejs/quic, you have to go to travis website to make it work, orgnization members won't has the permission. If we has this, futher experimental projects CI part should be easy.
Github action support linux, macOS, windows. I am thinking introduce build steps on all three platforms. This should make build problem found more early. (Like quic: initial experimental quic implementation #30943, works on linux, but not on macOS). Maybe only execute test on one platform.
Github action machine config is good than others, macOS has
