2. Address the second problem of the buildbot web interface sucking for non-standard branches. I'm thinking along the lines of a hack to buildbot, such that upon creation of new per-activity branches off a mainline, something magically runs in the background and sets up a complete buildbot view at python.snakebite.org/dev/buildbot/<your- branch-name>, just as if you were looking at a trunk buildbot page.
This is basically trivial. I gave #python-dev a tool for forcing builds, dunno if anyone still has a copy, but it's easy to reconstruct from <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/sandbox/exarkun/force- builds.py> (which is what the Twisted project uses). Plus, you can add ?branch=<name> to most BuildBot views to limit display of results to just builds for the named branch.
Titus, for example, alluded to some nifty way for a committer to push his local hg branch/changes somewhere, such that it would kick off builds on multiple platforms in the same sorta' vein as point 2, but able to leverage cloud resources like Amazon's EC2, not just Snakebite hardware.
BuildBot supports managing EC2 instance lifetimes to run builds.
