Yeah, I think that would be pretty trivial to do. It's already
interacting with GitHub's API, and I think there's a simple call to
query the test status (so it wouldn't even require SubmitGit talking to
Travis directly).

I don't think that really solves the problem overall, though. SubmitGit
is still a minority of patch submissions (and I wouldn't expect that to
change, but maybe I'm just a curmudgeon).
