Should we (or do we) offer to run (unofficial) buildbots for
maintainers of minority platforms where possible? For example, I have
no idea if a buildbot for MirOS is even feasible, but if the guy who
submitted the patch is amenable and it is possible to run a buildbot
slave for that OS, it still might be useful to have a "one stop" place
for this. If failing, such buildbots wouldn't block a release, but
would still provide tools for people to track down the source of
breakage.
