It was found more than weeks before, I asked this question through IRC and
finally found it's GFW issue

the easiest way is to find a server outside China and use ssh tunnel
solution, at least it works for me and other colleagues here

ssh -N -f -L 29418:review.openstack.org:29418 $server_in_US
then mapping review.openstack.org to local host in /etc/hosts.

Best Regards!

Yeah the IBM DB2 third party CI is run from a team in China and they've
been blocked for a few weeks now.
