I think this is great and pretty! Would it be possible to keep a list
of the revisions that failed to build? That could be very useful for
reg-hunting. Could the system send an email to the author of the
revision that failed?

Well, it seems idle right now. And with the new parallel testsuite, it
shouldn't take so much time, so I think it could keep up with the
repository. It seems just a waste of resources to build once and then
build again somewhere else to run the testsuite.

Great. Although this does not seem such an important issue given the
existing Compile Farm.
On the other hand, I seriously miss the patch tracker and I think I
was not the only one and we have probably lost a few patches along the
way. Any plans to bring it back?
Cheers,
Manuel.
