Description

This might also require policy changes on nodejs/node, but for PRs changing Actions we don't need to run full CI. Same goes for PRs changing CODEOWNERS, or linter rules, among other files. I suggest we create a .jenkinsignore file or something on nodejs/node so we can store the rules there instead of here.

Research direction

The issue mentions a proposed .jenkinsignore file and policy changes in nodejs/node. Start by reviewing how full CI decisions are currently defined and how nodejs/node handles Actions, CODEOWNERS, and linter-rule changes. Done means agreed rules can skip full CI for those changes and cover the other intended file categories.
