I've submitted patches which would do that for every patch (ideally,
excluding patches that don't touch the docs, although it looks like the
"exclusion" isn't working).
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/40/3709/

The most recent patches on that thread don't include the "docs as
artifacts" patch, but only the preparatory "build docs as a separate
task". I think the other part is stalled waiting for some updates to
cfbot to allow knowing how many commits are in the patchset.

FYI, you can navigate from the cirrus task's URL to the git commit (and
its parents)
