I also think measuring build times, and other build related stats, would be useful. I'd like to see Mozilla capturing those stats for developer builds though. I'm less interested in build times for the automation. That data is already looked at by the automation team.
Build stats for developers is a black hole though. We don't have a good idea of the amount of time it takes developers, and this is likely something that could end up driving productivity down and keep new contributors from getting involved.
